My first mini star trail picture

[Helen]

I'm on a field trip to the Calar Alto Observatory in southern Spain.  Here is my first ever star trail picture - rather a mini star trail due to just playing with a new camera and having to manually release the shutter.  Now off to research remote apps!

Sony alpha 6300 with a Zeiss zoom lens at the 16 end.  JPEGS loaded into Startrails app - no processing of individual frames.

Hopefully I can improve on this as the week goes on

It's cool that you can see the differing star colours

Nice one Helen - you are not missing anything weather-wise here I can assure you

Nice first effort there Helen,what app did you use?

I used the free Starstax software...easy to use.

Thanks Kenny.  I used Startrails, but  I'll try Starstax too then!

Here was my first go at a star trail image using stax from Warburton just on border of south Manchester and Cheshire using Starstax.
