Shoot at 18mm, f/3.5. Start with iso 3200 and shutter speed 17 seconds. Preview your image and based on the results you can alter the iso (increase or decrease). Please check out this article https://www.lightstalking.com/500-rule/

Hi Romel, yes, you can shoot using the 18-270mm lens. It is best to shoot at 18mm f/3.5 so you are able to use the widest aperture possible. We have seen a lot of Milky way images taken with the 18-55mm kit lens at 18mm, f/3.5. Make sure you are in a location with no or very less light pollution when the skies are clear 🙂

Thank you for this article. It was digestible and started to help this kind of photography make sense to me. So you can really take a photo of the Milky Way in one single shot? In the shots you’ve taken could you see it with the naked eye and no telescope (when you were away from the city)?

That’s amazing!! I’m loving telescope-free photos at night right now. I took my first star photo on a trip to Horseshoe Bend near Page, Arizona and decided to leave the shutter open for 45 minutes to see what I’d get. It was a pretty cool star trail shot with a campfire in the canyon below. 🙂
