Yesterday night saw the first semi-clear skies in my area for the last few weeks, so I took advantage of the opportunity and took my new camera plus tripod outside for experimentation.
Couldn't resist this one.
My experimentation was cut short by a bank of cloud that rolled in at about eleven PM.
There's definitely much more I need to figure out about astrophotography.
I can now understand the infinite values of both an optical viewfinder (stars are dim enough not to show up in the electronic viewfinder at all) and a wide angle lens (which would have enabled me to point the camera straight up with landscape on all sides).
I'm a complete beginner at this photography lark, but I hope I'll make progress. I've already decided on my next camera, looks like I'll be needing a combined birthday/Christmas/Hannukah present next year.
