Went out last evening to shoot the conjunction of Jupeter and Saturn. Set up in a local park just before sunset looking to the SW across a lake. Focused on distant trees for infinity (4x5 format, 210mm lens) . Made one metered sunset exposure and waited.

Eventually it got dark enough to see the Christmas Star of 2020. Over the next twenty or thirty minutes I made another five or six exposures at f/5.6 and f/8 counting "one one thousand . . ." each time, going as high as 12 softly spoken seconds.

I might tryu again tonight, weather permitting.

What should I REALLY do? Using a Zone VI 4x5, 210mm f/5.6 and Velvia 100.

Any knowledgable suggestions instead of just winging it?
