9 Hour 10 Minute Star Trails! 29th/30th November 2019

This is my longest ever star trails exposure, with my previous record being 6 hours.

 

Taken from Oxfordshire, UK between 18:00 GMT 29/11/19 and 03:10 GMT 30/11/19

Taken with a Canon 1100D with 18-55mm kit lens with Japan Optics wide angle lens attachment. ISO-800 for 30 seconds, this is a stack of 1,013 images, with a 9 hours and 10 minutes total exposure time. I was actually imaging for 12 hours but fog rolled in at 03:10.

The camera lens was wrapped with a home-made battery powered dew band and I used a mains power adapter for my camera.

Images stacked with StarStaX and processed in Fast Stone Image Viewer, Timelapse video to follow!

 

There are several tumbling satellites, a bright satellite flare and many aircraft trails in this image.
