I've been playing around with star trails and such. This is my latest attempt at playing around. These were taken with my Canon 60d, using my sigma 8-16 @ 8mm, f4.5 at ISO 3200, and 32 second exposure. This is a total of 284 images stacked.
I also took all the images and created a 38 second video so you could see the motion.

Circles, circle, circles.

Thank you! I used StarStaX...I had done a google search for stacking software for a Mac and found this one. Seems to do a pretty good job and is very simple to use.
The video can be found at this link (Mods, if that's not OK to post, my apologies). You do not have to have a facebook account to view it. When the window comes up, be sure to click the HD at the bottom right to view it in the best image.
See if you can count the number of aircraft!

Thank you Ed...I understand that! I'd get bored to tears too. I used a remote timer that I got off Amazon for about $16 bucks, so cheap there's no on/off switch! Obviously there are much better ones out there.
But I set it up to take 250 photos, 32 seconds long, wait 8 seconds before it snaps the next one. It was over several hours and I ran out one time to stop it, and immediately restarted it, which started the count all over again.
Just like the Ronco commercials - Set it and Forget it!

Keep playing and trying...you might even be able to google that thing and get some info that way. Mine was so cheap, you take the batteries out to shut it down, no switch and it doesn't go into a sleep mode. And, if I remember correctly, there were no directions that came with it. According to the comments that were made, others reported all that too. But cheap won my heart! So, it was just play and practice till I figured it out. Good luck!

Don't happen to have a link do you buddy?
Yup, this is the one I got:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081EC08M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But if you do a search on Amazon for 'shutter release' you'll get other options too. I really can't say why I got this one other than mostly closing my eyes and pointing to it. It's a cheap start.
Good luck and be sure to post your shots!
