Singleton Park Star-Trail

It was a clear night last night, and I just had to try out a star-trail shot, even though my wide-angle lens is away for repair. This was taken with my next-widest lens: a 50mm f/1.8. It's a three-hour exposure in total, consisting of 36 five-minute exposures taken automatically by the intervalometer attached to the camera. I was indoors in the warmth while it was all going on:


It would've looked better with a wider angle lens, but my wide-angle should be back soon, so look out!

  1. Jeremy, What interval timer are you using? Do you stack in Photoshop or something better?

  3. Thanks for your comments. Adrian, the timer is a cheap Chinese-made thing I bought on Amazon for about £20 - can't remember the exact one. I'm stacking the images in this application: http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html . Hope that helps.

  4. Actually, Adrian, I've found the timer I bought - it's this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002S5AM7Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
