Nightscape & Cityscape Photography?
I'm new to photography I have a Nikon d3100 and was wondering how to take cityscape photos. My photos also turn out overexposed or underexposed and I can't figure out why. Like what should I set my settings to Aperture and Shutter. For example in Times Square nyc what would be an ideal camera setting? & also shout I leave the exposure compensation at its default or? When exactly do I change that?

Decent astrophotographing solution?
Hello. I am still researching about astrophotography and recently joined an astronomy club. My hopes are that in about a year from now I will be able to buy a decent telescope and EQ-G mount. I am still in a research phase of the astrophotography field but I am not new to astronomy or using a DSLR. So far I've managed to determine what I want to achieve and that is, good astro photos and decent deep space observations, also I don't like the diffraction spikes that newts do. Here are a few telescopes that caught my attention:
1. Sky-Watcher Esprit 80ED APO Triplet
2. Sky-Watcher 7.5" f/5.3 Maksutov-Newtonian Telescope
3. Sky-Watcher 8" f/3.9 Quattro Imaging Newtonian Telescope
4. Orion 8" f/3.9 Newtonian Astrograph Reflector Telescope
5. Explore Scientific Maksutov-Newtonian F/4.9 152 mm
I am looking into either a refractor or a newt reflector telescope. The research I have done so far told me that a refractors or a maksutov-newts are better for astro imaging than a newtonian (mostly because I don't like the diffraction spikes), but since price is an issue I am willing to do trade-offs in effort to get the best for the money solution. Keep in mind I am only a novice and I am still researching. So here is my question, which of these telescope is best for my needs and what mount would I need for that telescope considering the weight of all the extra equipment needed? Also what extra equipment would you get for astrophotograping for telescope you recommend? I own a Nikon D7200.
Added (1). I forgot to mention the Orion ED80T CF Triplet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope.
