I didn’t have any expectations concerning that title, but the more I was astonished. The author did a great job. I spent a few minutes
reading and checking the facts. Everything is very clear and understandable. I like posts that fill in your knowledge gaps. This one is of the sort.

Hey Eliza, good article. I’m trying to get a better understanding of how to take good shots of stars. I recently picked up a used Nikon D7200. I have only the body at this point. I was reading https://www.photographytalk.com/astrophotography-tips-for-beginners, then your article. Trying to get a better understanding on what’s a good lens to pick up next. Then on one of the recent articles I was reading, I saw something about the 500 rule, then another article mentioned 600, THEN (rolling eyes) another said these rules don’t matter for newer cameras. Would a my Nikon D7200 count? Thanks for your help and this article.
