With a DSLR, shoot in manual mode and set the image quality to RAW.
Adjust the shutter speed, white balance and the desired aperture.
Set up the VR head and camera on the tripod. With this specific tripod, notice the footprint has been decreased to avoid being in the nadir shot. Less editing of the bottom image later on.
For long night exposures use a remote shutter release or set the camera on timer release mode as shown above with the D70s.
The VR head should have been previously adjusted to the camera's no-parallax-point..
See images below.
1 - On the NN3, lower rail setting for the D70/D70s, is at the 55mm mark.
2 - Adjust the tripod's legs so the bubble level on the VR head is centered.
3 - On the NN3, upper rail setting with the D70/D70s, is at the 80mm mark.
