Q: QuestionHow is a6000 for taking star points shots and shots of milky way, what is range and selection of ISO, does it have remote wireless trigger and what is maximum exposure time? Is there a telescope mount available?

Asked 8 years ago by Starrynight.

• A:Answer This wouldn't be my first choice for astrophotography. Images are a little on the noisy side in my opinion for astrophotography. I'd suggest getting a lens like the Samyang 12mm f2.0 if you are going to do this kind of photography. You can use your phone to control the camera. You should be able to use the tripod screw and adapt it to a telescope mount.

Q: QuestionI'm planning on going to New York for traveling. I want to take pictures throughout the city. What lens do you recommend for traveling and everyday use? I've been told 35mm f1.8 is a good option. Or should I invest more money and get the sony e 10-18 f4?

Asked 8 years ago by Beginnersony.

• A:Answer The 35 will be fine. If you want to get real creative get a fish eye lens. I did that at times square. Looks so cool. Also don't forget to use the panorama shooting for long line shots.

Q: QuestionWhat would be the best setting for beach pictures in the early morning or at sunset?

Asked 8 years ago by Mia25701.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm Lens - White

• A:Answer Hi Mia25701, The ILCE-6000 is equipped with preset settings so it would be easier for you to shoot according to the scene. When shooting stills on scenes like sunsets and sunrises, you can set the SCN (Scene Selection) Setting to "Sunset" this lets you shoot red tinted skies and the like with even more beauty.
