Hello - I'm wondering what a typical reference level might be when using LRTimelapse Holy Grail setting in DSLRDashboard. I've found when doing sunset to stars transitions I end up with too hot of an image once I get to the stars. I have decreased the reference level to minimize the amount of noise in the shots once I get to stars, but still seems too hot.
I'm using a Nikon D5100 cropped sensor camera with a Nikon 20mm f1.8 lens. I start at about 1/2000 shutter speed and go to a maximum of about 10 seconds. I've got ISO starting at 100 and eventually getting to about 2500.
I realize its a cropped sensor camera so perhaps there's not much more I can do but I'm hoping I can get some guidance from others who have more experience than me.
Any comments would be appreciated.
thx!!
