Side Benefits - Orion Wide Field
The above was created from the series of images in this star trail shot: www.flickr.com/photos/steventheamusing/11240440045/
For fun I took the shots used in my "Life is a Beach Sometimes" shot (posted earlier), and masked off the foreground. I then ran them through DeepSkyStacker which is normally used for astroimaging. DSS wouldn't know what to do with the land.
There is a strong gradient left that I didn't remove... it's due to the light pollution from the nearby buildings and streetlights together with the mist and fog.
These shots were all ISO 1600, f/2.8, 20 seconds (which was too long for this purpose since it cause stars to be streaks rather than points of light).
