Revisited the star trail data from a week or so ago, to make a fun little time lapse video. There are two distinct runs of the data in here with two different vibes. I think it came out pretty fun!

The first time I tried #startrails. Over Pine Bay Farms Cottages bay.

Two representations of the same data (250 photos taken with a 9mm wideangle lens):
First, the photo shows the star trails in one picture.

2 years ago today I finally completed my 24 #StarTrails project, combining star trails images taken through a full year from the same spot in the UK. This wasn't easy to pull off! Learn how I did it here: https://youtu.be/4yiAOCDbmqI #Starstax #FullCircleStarTrails #24HourStarTrails

Timelapse video from the #StarTrails over the #EarthSatelliteStation in #Oxfordshire 3rd April '23, shot with 50mm + 300mm lenses. Music by Doctor Turtle. Full technical info is in the You Tube description box. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/_RMxMkaw7OM

On 3rd April 2023 I went back to shoot more #StarTrails over the #EarthSatelliteStation in #Oxfordshire. I used 2 cameras with different lenses. This is 20mins with a 300mm zoom lens, 70 x 15 sec at f/4. I love this one because the satellite dishes are more prominent

On 3rd April 2023 I went back to shoot more #StarTrails over the #EarthSatelliteStation in #Oxfordshire. I used 2 cameras with different lenses. This is 20mins with a 50mm fixed lens, 270 x 4 sec at f/2.5

Another image of the ISS pass over Princeton, NJ on Sat Mar 18 @ 7:49 PM. This image was created from 2 photos looking east taken with a Nikon D7500 and 18mm lens. Each photo was 20 sec at f/11 and ISO 100. Processed in Lightroom and then a break in the ISS trail created by the gap between exposures were patched up in Photoshop.

I stepped outside last night to take this image of an ISS pass over Princeton, NJ on Sat Mar 18 @ 7:49 PM. This image was created from 4 photos taken with a Nikon D7500 and 18mm lens.

I've figured out an easy way to tell the exact location of the North Star which is hidden behind the trees behind the house. This shot is a time-lapse photo that was pointed in the general direction of where it should be. It's a composite of 100 shots taken over about 2 hours. At the center of all the circles, which are stars, is the North Star. That's where I have to aim the Sky Tracker.

Here's my Guide to the North Star hiding in the trees behind my house:
