Star Trails, second attempt
Nov 23, 2023 12:27:10 #
A couple weeks ago, I posted a picture of a local Mission church with star trails. In this, my first attempt, I accidentally got the stars out of focus but still liked the results after stacking the images in StarStax. This time, I made double sure the stars were in better focus, and also let the camera run for longer (8 hours). Unfortunately this time I didn't have the priest out there with me to open the doors and turn on the lights.
Here is my first attempt: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-792170-1.html
And attached in my most recent shoot.

WOW. Very Impressive!
I hope you have a version of this in "landscape" orientation.

No, I don't sorry. I looked at Landscape when I was out there but was concerned I wouldn't get Polaris in the shot or it would be very high up on the image

Great work Basil. What were your camera settings?

If memory serves, for the first shot ISO800, F4 30 sec exposures. For the second attempt, ISO 400, F4 and 20 second exposures (at 24mm). (For the first shot there was no moon out, but for the second attempt there was a pretty good half moon.

Like Basil, I was hoping you had a landscape version. Personally, I like the landscape presentation because it gives the Vastness of the sky. You did well on you second attempt. The trails look great to me. Ever heard of the Australian photographer Lincoln Harrison? If you haven't, google his name and check out his work.
