[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 36401, member: 7698"] Practice makes perfect! :D I believe the rotation is about 15 degrees every hour so if you are pointed toward the north star you will need to be open for quite a while to get good trails. A buddy of mine shoots star trails a lot and I believe his leaves his shutter open for at least an hour. I believe this is where he started with information on it. [url=http://www.weatherscapes.com/techniques.php?cat=astronomy&page=startrails]Photography techniques: Star trail photography[/url] Now another method I hear a lot about is multiple exposure trail blending. like a time lapse but for a composite. I have not triled this method so... I believe there is some software that does the actual work for you IDK for sure [/QUOTE]
