Night sky conditions aren’t static. Light pollution, moon phase, and atmospheric clarity can change during your session, affecting how much exposure time you need.
Brighter skies from city lights or a rising moon mean longer exposures can wash out your image and increase noise. Conversely, dark, clear skies allow for longer exposures to capture faint details.
Regularly review your images and adjust exposure time to maintain optimal brightness and detail. Flexibility helps you adapt to the night’s changing conditions and get the best shots possible.
