Good point @buddingphotographer. BUT… if you were going to include some close foreground elements that would be bright enough with the long exposure that they needed to be in focus, I would think f/8 or so might be a good compromise. Depending, of course on your focal length and the distance of your foreground elements. Night photography is something I’d like to learn more about and experiment with. Btw, I saw your dad at Stoneboro Camp this summer. I used to enjoy listening to him and his family play the bells many years ago!
