Last night I was imaging for 8 solid hours, hoping to pick up some Draconid Meteors. I took almost 4,000 images overnight, but this morning when I reviewed them I realised my dew heater had failed (the wire had come right out of one of the connectors). So I lost 7 out of 8 hours of imaging, so I'm pretty gutted. I did manage to stack 45 minutes worth of images shot during the first hour, before dew took over.

Taken with a Canon 1100D with 18-55mm kit lens. ISO-1600 for 8 seconds (because I was trying to capture meteors rather than star trails), 306 images stacked using StarStaX

My first Startrails

120 shoots - 24mm - f/2.8 - ISO100 - 30"

One good thing about 100% cloudless sky (and living at the top of a mountain) is, it gave me a good chance to try out some startrails photo that I've been wanting to shoot but didn't have much luck back in the east coast (near the city, too much light pollution!).

This is actually my 2nd attempt (tried one back at home a couple of months ago) but the one that's somewhat decent to post. There's really not much composition in this one, just want to get a decent startrails first. Now, I gotta go find some interesting foreground that doesn't have much light pollution at night......

My first startrail

I took this startrails picture last summer.

24 exposures a 5min, ISO640, Lens Tamron 17-35mm 2,8-4,0 @ 17mm F4,0; camera EOS 5DmkII.

This gorgeous photograph, taken in the Atacama Desert in Chile, shows star trails circling the South Celestial Pole, over a cacti-dominated still landscape. The star trails show the apparent path of the stars in the sky as the Earth slowly rotates, and are captured by taking long-exposure shots.

I do like a good star trail but thought I'd try something a bit different with this one.

Vorgestern Abend habe ich mal wieder unseren Brunsberg besucht.

Der 2/3 Mond und der frisch gefallene Schnee erhellten das gesamte Areal.

Dieses Foto ist mein erstes "StarTrail" Photo. Weil es sich hier nur um einen Versuch handelt, sind es in diesem Falle nur 5 Bilder à 3min Belichtungszeit. Daher sind die Trails auch vergleichsweise kurz.

2 nights ago, I visited our local "mountain", the Brunsberg.

It was a bright (2/3 moon) cold cold night after the first snow fall this year. The moon and the snow lit up the scenery.

This is my first little "startrail" image, which was only a test and was therefore only created out of 5 images with 3 minutes exposure each. This is also the reason why the trails are quite short.

Please also visit www.AndreMeyer.de.

Made from the same frames used to make the movie. All the light is added to the final image, one frame had Joan shining a light in the middle of the night that added to all frames.

2 hours in a muddy cold dark field turned out to be time well spent!

Hallo zusammen

Wir waren in der Provence und eigentlich weit weg von Lichtverschmutzung. So nach einer Woche entspannen ist mir die Idee gekommen, ich könnte von der Unterkunft "Une Campagne en Provence" eine Startrailaufnahmen machen.

Der erste Versuch scheitert kläglich, da ich mit dem internen Timer aufnehmen wollte. Diesen habe ich um 21 Uhr gestartet und je 1 Sek Intervall eingegeben... So war natürlich die Karte bis 2115 Uhr voll und ich hat fast tagesaufnahmen :-( 605 Fotos aber noch ganz viel blaue Stunde.....

Hier für diese Aufnahme habe ich um 0030 gestartet und dann die Kamera durchlaufen lassen, bis der Akku leer war. Es wurden 460 Bilder verbaut um diese Startrail zu machen. Das nächste mal werde ich die externe Stromversorgung anhängen und hoffentlich so etwa 3 Std abdecken können. Hier sind es gerade mal 35min....

Die rote Leuchtspur ist natürlich von mir, bin sonst nicht so, aber hier hat sie mir noch gefallen....

Hoffe das Bild gefällt euch trotzdem....

Gruss Martin

Here is the Racton Ruins Startrails image. A few peolpe have asked to see it. I think it looks a bit messy. I'm happy with it but i think i know how to improve on this image.

A stacked image from 65, 25 sec exposures at f1.4 ISO 400.

While I was shooting star trails up north the Aurora borealis was seen! What an amazing combination!
