Reply to comment by dedasdude in Milky way centre on cheap Nikon D3300 and a cheaper nikon 50mm f1.8 lens. Taken few kms out of city during a powercut, India. by dedasdude

I have the very same model, never thought of using it for astrophotography. What is your equipment like? I'd like to take similar photographs when I visit the Himalayas.

Edit: Saw your comment below mentioning the lens. What stand are you using, and can I find it on amazon?

My stand for this was the top of my car, using the lens cap to point higher up a bit. Other wise i use the amazon basics tripod.

I use a IR remote to time the shots so that i dont make them blurry by pressing the buttons on the camera
