D810: Seemingly not able to use Long Exposure NR


hdnathan

Question

As recommended practice in "The Backyard Astronomer's Guide", I've tried to use the LONG EXPOSURE NR > ON menu selection in the Nikon D810 but using this causes BYN to abort the exposure session at the end of the first frame of capture.  Am I doing something wrong, is there a work around or is this feature just not supported at this time.

 

Thanks,

 

Nathan

Despite the guidance you got from the "The Backyard Astronomer's Guide", most of us DO NOT USE the Camera's built-in Long-Exposure Noise Reduction (LENR) feature.

 

This is because:

1) We tend to want "More Control" over our Image Processing, including Calibration using Darks / Flats / Bias Frames.  If the Frames are already Dark-Subtracted via LENR, then this is difficult/impossible.

2) We tend to want to make the most of our Imaging Time by capturing JUST the Light Frames, and then capturing the Darks / Flats / Bias Frames later (if we don't already have them stored in Libraries).

 

That being said...

In general, BYE/BYN should handle LENR Imaging much more Gracefully - by simply spinning the "Downloading" indicator until the LENR Exposure is completed.

(Do make sure that you are using Bulb Mode for your Exposures - not just Manual...)
