How are you tripping your shutter?
If you're not using a remote either wireless or wired that's likely what caused your streaking.
Pretty sure Polaris is on the center. ;)


Yes, I use a wired remote. I'm thinking maybe I need a delay release as well.
Maybe get things to settle, then... Click. :?: :?:

I'll keep fiddling with it. ;)
Fiddling I can do day, or night. :lol:

Oh, and, um, yes. Polaris is centered. I thought I'd start the roll with my centering of the phone display.
Learning, learning, learning...

Actually your focus is off a bit causing the ring effect when you look at the download and zoom.
Not sure what's up with Polaris in this shot as it looks like it moved and the others were caught just fine other than ringed.

Keep playing Mister, keep playing..
Like Macro Photography, practice, post, grumble at the responses, try again.. lol

LOL!
Now that I do a LOT. :lol: ;)

Yep, I noticed that odd "stuttering" of the Polaris image. And now that I'm using the Stellarium app I see why Polaris moves. It isn't the center, just really close. :hunf:

Most of my grumbling is at the clouds, and the high altitude military bombers practicing over my area.
I'm a Solar power plant operator, according to my power company. High flyers make huge contrails, those jag up my curve for the day.
Now that I find myself staring up at the night sky, I find them doing it at night as well. Night before last night a nice big vapor trail cut North to South through my field and eventually drifted East.
It's bad enough deleting the commercial and private aircraft pictures, without the darn contrails, too. :lol:
:roll: I can't win for losin. :lol:

Hope it's clearing tonight... Otherwise, I'll be posting pictures of cloud movement. :twisted: :lol:
I can see the Orion Nebula in my 60X scope, but can't capture an image with my Tamron. Shrug... :roll:
Meanwhile, I love looking over you guyses shoulders.. :shock:
