Star Trails – (No Perseids)


James says:
“I had zero luck tonight. Only made a star trail picture. Did catch a plane in upper right and 2 flashes of a firefly in lower left.”

Telescope : None
Mount : Manfrotto tripod (055XDB), manfrotto head (804RC2), fixed
Camera : Canon EOS 60D
Lens : EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS @ 18mm
Exposure : [C:16x30s@ISO 400]
Software : Gimp

A morning attempt to capture some early Orionids was unsuccessful.  However, stacking the exposures does provide colorful evidence of Earth’s rotation against the starry background.  Polaris, of course, refuses to budge.
