beewee Posted July 5, 2021 Share #42 Posted July 5, 2021 On 6/25/2021 at 11:25 AM, beewee said: I’ll correct myself on this one. One area where having 8s exposure for multi-shot may bring value would be for combining separately exposed foreground and sky images which is fairly common practice in astro. So, if one wanted to expose the foreground separately, an 8x8s multi-shot exposure for a combined 64s exposure may also open up new possibilities. So according to John Kreidler, Leica Pro Product Specialist, the 1s exposure limit in multi-shot mode is because it uses an electronic shutter. The electronic shutter’s maximum exposure limit being 1s, which explains why multi-shot is limited to 8x1s long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The max shutter duration for electronic shutter is 60s according to the instructions manual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL2 electronic shutter limit is from 1s to 1/40000s SL2-S electronic shutter limit is from 60s to 1/16000s So it’s conceivable that Leica may be able to expand the exposure duration in multi-shot mode for the SL2-S in future FW updates but for the SL2, it is maxed out at 1s. I imagine that the electronic shutter is used to avoid vibration from the shutter in multi-shot mode to maximize stability of the camera.

Alan Friedman Posted July 13, 2021 Share #45 Posted July 13, 2021 Not the type of astro-photography I usually do but great wide-field fun on vacation without an equatorial mount. These are taken with the Sigma fp-L but I think the SL2 should work similarly. Lens is the Sigma 14-24 dg dn at f2.8. 15 and 20 second exposures at ISO 3200. New London, NH. Welcome, dear visitor!

bcorton Posted September 18, 2021 Share #48 Posted September 18, 2021 Really nice, Lucio. Was the foreground exposed separately?--else how did you keep it from blurring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp Posted September 26, 2021 Share #50 Posted September 26, 2021 Yes great pic, was that using moove shoot moove? Keen to start using Leica SL2 or SL2-s (have both) with the Sigma 14-24 f2.8 (or 24-90) but wanting to only keep one camera. Previously have done a lot of astro on Sony.
