star trails and orion

[Ags]

More experiments from my back garden. The star trails are 15 minutes long, at 21mm F4 and 39mm F5.6. They were made with 30 second subs stiched together manually in Gimp using layers set to Lighten.

I also took a pic of Orion hovering over my pet streetlight (6 seconds ad 39mm F5.6).

Cool image its always nice to have a bit of foreground interest in these images.

Thanks for the comments. These are my first star trails and my first proper constellation shot. I had slight trailing in the Orion shot, but you can't see it unless you blow up the stars to 200%.

you might want to grab a copy of Startrails.exe, it will take your images and do all the hard work for you.

Agreed.
