Hi Folks.
A couple of my friends and I wish to have a go at creating some of those images with the deliberate star trails, this weekend looks like the weather and moon might play ball, moonrise after midnight, we have a reasonable dark sky to go to, weather clear, but cold..... Why are we doing this...
Anyway, I have searched the forum, and all except one of the star trail references seem to lead to how to avoid them, not much help when that is what you are setting out to get!
I wonder if a couple of you good folks could give me a few pointers, direction to point, I assume we need the pole star in the middle to create a circular trail, keep the horizon or not, approximate exposure time, ISO 100?
Keeping the horizon will probably preclude including the pole star so are the trails more linear along the horizon?
Thanks for any help with this.
Cheers, Graham.
