I'd love to go buy all those books, but I have kids to feed. Thanks for the info though. |
The public library should have plenty of photography books.. It is rare that I buy a book that I plan to learn from without checking it out first. But here are a couple of links that could help too. I don't know if they're too basic for you, but it's a start. :)
Short Courses on digital cameras & photography.

For star trails, I'd recommend aiming for something around f4 or f5.6 at ISO 400. Gives reasonably bright trails
If you are somewhere urban, with a lot of light pollution, maybe ISO 100 might be a better goal. |

| Just to make sure I understand this thread correctly; If I'm using ISO400 in my film camera, and then meter a shot using my digital camera (set to ISO400), can I just transfer the shutter and aperture settings directly to the film camera, and get exactly the same exposure? |

Yes - you are just using your digital camera as a light meter. You could do the same thing with a film camera with a light meter, or a regular hand-held meter.
Everything you need to know about exposure is explained here: //www.fredparker.com/ultexp1.htm |
