Richtersveld Startrail
This image is a composite of 578 30 second exposures, taken over a period of 5 1/4 hours, in the wilderness of the Richtersveld National Park, South Africa. It was a time just before full moon, hence the brightness of the scenery. This is towards the south celestial pole.
The images were stacked using Tawbaware Image Stacker (two different blending modes), with a little exposure and minor color adjustments in Photoshop and then finally finished off with Tawbaware Star Tracer to get rid of the gaps in the trails caused by the Image Stacker blending.
Camera is a 500D with Sigma 10-20mm, at F8 and ISO1600
The vehicle is my Mitsubishi Pajero, a regular on 4x4 trails around the country
