The second shot is 77 30" exposures stacked in photoshop, then edited in lightroom.

Number one is nice. Number two.. well, suddenly I had the urge to flap my arms and cluck like a chicken.

What does that mean?

Nice. How far apart in time were your 77 photos taken? I want to try something like this myself.

Both are very nice. Quick question about no.2, would the north star be right of the image?

I do believe so

Ahh.... I didn't even think of that. Well played....

I like them both... Seems like WB is a little off with #2, though??? (just looking at the color of the tree).
And yes to Ndancona - the North Star is just to the right.
With #1 - would it be possible to tweak curves a bit to make the milky way pop a little more?

I can try!

I'd say there were pretty close together, if not back-to-back. Otherwise you get empty spots in the trails, and they turn into dashed lines. Some stacking software can fill in the gaps, but I'm sure there are limitations.

The nice thing with doing star trails, is that it's ok to have longer shutter times where the stars start to trail. Some good Canons can be left open for much longer, and can get decent star trails with a single exposure. But my Nikon will get over heated if I go more than ~1 minute.

I'd estimate this to be about 3 hours worth of earth rotation??

One of these days I'll learn to stack my photos

But I love any astro type photo :thumbup:

I love the trees on the bottom of the first one. It's just .. kinda like .. kewl
Like the trees are watching the sky. reminds me from that TV show where the people gave commentary on the movie they were watching but all you could see was their outline.

That would be Mystery Science Theater 3000. A great show while Jole was on it... Mike was ok.
