Fittie Stars

Aberdeen, Scotland

Beautiful clear sky evening in Aberdeen last night …. I have been waiting two years to get the right conditions for this shot


How is this done?
This is 307 individual shots taken immediately after each other and then merged with software to one image
because the earth is rotating each of the 307 images captures a unique position of the stars … when merged the star trails are evident

Love this, Tony. Everything from the foreground detail & colour, through the MCG command post to the star trails themselves are all rendered beautifully.
