Yes! Nailed it! Your parents have always had great taste (assumed).

I assume you need a super long exposure setting on your camera for star pictures yeah? A manual camera might be my first step.. I've got a Nikon AW1, I'm not sure it'll do it.

Correct. I usually shot around 25 seconds with a 24mm lens. I don't know about the model you're talking about, but it does take some nice gear to be able to capture good stars. It's really fun to do!

Ah... yeah, okay, that's a super long exposure time. Alright! Manual camera hunting here I go! Thanks man! Really happy to have you here on Steemit!

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions!
