I am incapable, please help me out.
I was trying to take star pictures but failed miserably and only noticed once I got back. I only have a kit 18-55mm lens.
But I'm not sure what my mistakes were: I used around 2000 ISO, lowest focal, and about 20s shutter. But they turned out complete crap.
Please tell me everything I did wrong.

Your EXIF says the ISO was 6400 which explains your problem. Turn down your ISO a bit, stop down a bit so that stars will be in focus and not just the clouds (you only need to stop down so far on a wide-angle before the focus becomes infinity), and up the shutter speed so it's all exposed properly.
You'll probably need a tripod if you have to slow the shutter speed that much. If you don't, keep the ISO high up and just stop down until the pic isn't over-exposed.
And once you're bored of working your ass off to take some dull shot of the star pic a real subject. And don't be afraid to use the programed modes, the mark of the newbie is using full manual for no good reason

Go research astrophotography.

Use the 500 rule for maximum exposure time without star trails. That means divide 500 by the focal length of your lens so if you're using a 12mm, 500/12= 41s max exposure.
Now with that kind of exposure time you can probably get away with 1600iso or maybe even 1200.
Shoot in raw and turn off noise reduction.
Open your RAW in darktable or even perhaps ACR. If you're in ACR goto sharpening and under noise reduction increase Luminance to about 25 and luminance detail to about 35. That should help smooth out some of the noise while preserving detail.
Another thing is you can't just point it at the sky and expect great results. The sky needs to be clear, also find out what time galactic center rises (if you use an iphone you can ask siri) or get the photo pills app and it will show you an augmented reality overlay of when and where the milky way will be when you're shooting.
Put those things together and you'll make a more interesting photo.

I got these two large camera lenses at a yardsale /p/. One of them was a made in japan kowa 1:1.2/81mm. This other lens looks to be about 81mm as well give or take a bit but it has no labels or manufacturer marks of any kind. It also has a 4 hole flange like the Kowa. I'll post a bunch of pics of the unknown lens hopefully someone will know what it is haha.

shoot 2 stops underexposed surrounded by white marble so that the little light you have is bouncing everywhere. spritz down your model for the extra glow

B&H general discussion
do you shop there?
no doubt B&H is killing the local camera store but it is hard to not order from them when they are cheaper, have everything in stock, and it gets to your door faster than you can order the item from the local guys.

Law of thirds, tower should be more to the right, and you should have had a lower angle on it, to include more sky for the top third.

No. Expensive. Small sensor size, poor image quality. Might as well buy a cheap dslr for same price.
Unless you want that 100x zoom for god knows what.
>>
>>3117610
I just sold my Coolpix b700 and got a Canon 70d, to be fair the camera is not bad for beginners but it sucks on manual and the sensor is too small to zoom in the pictures

The superzoom Nikon bridge camera can see Saturn without some expensive gross oversized tele
Tbh it's better than most dslr cameras
