Does the star move?

avilamillar · Sep 3, 2009

Hi, today arrived some things i ordered from adorama, one of them was the remote for my D60, i was testing it and i tried some long exposures.

in this pictures the stars seem to be like they moved! why did this happen?

in both i used my remote to open and close the shutter. i used a tripod too.

Thanks

Aw, come on.

While you want to make fun of somebody else, remember there will always be someone smarter than you.

More than 1/2 of the people in a recent survey did not know that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Nor could they explain exactly what a year is.

The fact of the matter is, most people rarely look up, think about why the Sun rises and sets daily, or wonder why the Earth has seasons.

How many people truely realise the Earth rotates from West to East, let alone that galaxies like Andromeda have their light shifted to the blue end of the spectrum?
