I am looking for a camera that I can use to take pictures of stars out on a hike. Of course, this will be while I probably should be asleep.
My current two cameras, F6.3 and F6.6 have lenses just too slow for doing this with. These are a Sony DSC-P52 and a Canon Sureshot 490. The Sony can change the ISO rating and get a slower or faster 'film', but I don't know enough to know if F6.x at ISO 400 is good enough for star shots.
Finding one under $100, is being a pain. I know what I need to get, a high priced digital camera... but I cannot afford those.
A tripod wil lbe a must to. I did try my telephone, Samsung Galaxy S4, on the 3/4 moon and it left an overload spot on the camera CCD.
I think I need a F2 or F2.4 lens on the camera.
Any suggestions for a digital camera ?
Thanks
