Fiber-optic star trails, fireflies, the ISS & NEOWISE
Taken Friday, July 17th at Letha House Park in Medina County, Ohio. This photo is a 52 minute star trail made from 526 consecutive shots, each 6 seconds long, ISO 800, 15mm @ f2.8, Nikon D810. The star trail was created using Sequator's star trail feature with the "motion" box checked. I removed 6 aeroplanes from the star trail using the healing brush in Photoshop. The remaining streak is the International Space Station.
The star field/comet is made of 60 of those shots stacked in Sequator using the "Freeze ground" feature.
I took the star field shot and enhanced the stars in Photoshop using the StarSpikes Pro 4 filter to add the glow. Then I lighten blended that layer over the star trail also in Photoshop.
