I used my loved and only mirrorless SONY A5100. and I used SEL35F18 a single focus 35mm lens. Though wide-angled and bright lens is recommended for taking stars, I only have 35mm lens with bright focus. So I chose SEL35F18 for shooting stars.
Settings for shooting are;

- focus: manual

- Exposure: 10 secs
- ISO: manual ISO 1600
- flash: No
