Paying homage to Polaris...our friend in the N. Hemisphere! In the old days, when shooting film, I would use my Canon EF, take out the battery, use the mechanical shutter on Bulb setting, and take a single 3 hr photo, on film, to get the star trails....Now, 25 sec exposures, 300+ stacked together for the same effect. ....but that takes up a lot more room on the hard drive!
in the foreground the Sky Watcher EQR pro with a Radian Raptor 61 with a QHY 268c is clicking away on a distant nebula. Camping at Badger Creek, AZ.
