Thanks to the help and advice from Erick and Iceman I was able to take some amateur pics tonight outside my unit of some stars... there not the best, but its a start for me. Pics were taken @ 18:30 hrs using my new EOS 400D Canon 10.1 megapixel Digital camera. Now this is what I wrote down for the settings...
A-DEP
ISO 800
I think it was 15 sec exposure
AWB = Automatic White Balance
EFS18-55mm lens
Anyways...I was happy with my result.
Cheers
