Star Trails

Glassel

My first go at this kind of thing,
not sure the camera is really up to it...light leaks at the corners and lots of hot pixels.
It was an amazingly clear evening and -6 degrees - a bit cool on the tootsies!

Looks like you had a great weekend, surprised the battery and your toes lasted that long also amazing how far thet moved in 30 minutes

An extra pair of socks in your boots and the 1821s feel like just a moment!

Swirly! I like this Stewart, and for a first attempt, it's pretty darned good! V

LOL @ Johnny, I think we all know that feeling :o)))

Wow... fantastic... but I'm not sure I'd stand in the cold for that long haha.

Great work - well worth freezing for!

Last time the sky looked like that I was drunk! Nicely done.

Cool!

You've been creeping around in the dark with your tripod again, haven't you?

Brilliant!
Nicki Thurgar30-Nov-2008 18:15
Amazing! I've been reading how to do these....you've cracked it!
Phillip Normanton30-Nov-2008 17:43
Wow - happy trails!!!
That's a long long time in that temperature!! Didn't your front element get condensation? Or maybe that's your 'light leaks'?

You've captured something quite dizzying in the angle at which the stars have moved around, I feel like I've just got off a roundabout!

Looks good to me - That is the fun of the camera lots to learn and practise. Well Done it is a really pretty image. I'm guessing they are 'star trails'. I thought it was rain in Phillip's shot.

Fantastic image! 1821 seconds with cold toes: wait until I do my long division on that one. Brrr... It looks like you've proved the earth is round all over again.
