Today I leave you a Startrail of the Namib Desert in Namibia 🇳🇦.

 

Many of you know it, but for people who are not used to this kind of technique, a Startrail is a photography of very long times to capture the movement of the stars which is produced by the rotation of the earth.

 

These stars, although we see them as white, really have color, which depends on the temperature of each star.

 

In the northern hemisphere the stars will rotate around Polaris, or the pole star, counterclockwise and in the southern hemisphere (where the photo is taken), the stars rotate around Sigma Octantis, the southern pole star, clockwise.

 

A total of 828 photos were used to make the photo, which were "added" to get this trace, each with an exposure time of 30 seconds, resulting in a total of almost 7 hours.

 

Ah! Last but not least, to make this kind of shots don't miss the tutorial that @enisosbajas has on his YouTube channel really highly recommended 👌.
