Star trail lesson 2 for me was to learn how to find the north star (polaris) to use it as a focal point in the image. I was never much of a boy scout so I resorted to Google to find out what to look for in locating Polaris in the night sky.....
The forecast promised a clear night on saturday so I was all set to drive out to a location I want to try. Unfortunately I got half way there and the sky clouded over :(
Anyways, it was clear last night so I went out in the back garden again and set the camera up pointing at what I thought was the north star. Pleasing results when I generated the final image - the north star is actually where I thought it was.....hooray for Google. A few clear nights are forecast this week so hopefully I'll make it out to the countryside to avoid the light pollution for some more attempts. The image has also reminded me I need to get up on the roof and point my TV aerial in the right direction!
Image comprised of 85 30sec exposures overlaid over each other. I must have included my initial test shot in the overlay too as there is a gap at the beginning of each star trail.......
Had the camera pointed to the star Polaris (North Star) while at Glendale, PA back in June. Did a 16+ minute exposure and the result was amazing!
What every photographer needs, lol.
This is not mine, a rancher friends of mine just got it and lets me use it on their place, they are very nice people. The camera is mine, its the Nikon D700 and the 500mm f4, at times I feel like its heavy enough that I need one of these Polaris rigs to just haul the camera around, lol.

Was having a go at this kind of thing from early 2011:

Focus was out. The moon was too pokey. So basically the original
result was pretty crap. Step in Aperture 3 and Picasa 3 trickery, and
we have something a bit more minimal and richer in colour.
Polaris is the biggest blob with actual pole sitting to the NW of the
recognised marker.
36 minute single exposure. ISO 800. f/6.3.
The constellation markings in red are referenced from Heavens Above. The sometimes more complex and more detailed constellation representations in purple are as determined by Sky and Telescope's Interactive Sky Chart.
This image is built up from a number of exposures, layered in Photoshop using the "Lighten" blending mode. The tapering "comet tail" effect was achieved by progressively changing the opacity of successive layers.

Part of a set / Slideshow featuring images of stars, the night sky and the occasional meteor taken during the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower in August 2010.
Fully licensed model of the zany Polaris Slingshot which although is a casting which has never appealed to me I do appreciate its left field choice. Now part of a nine vehicle set. Mint and boxed.
Cielo estrellado sobre el refugio del Horcajo, en el valle del Trevélez. Parque Nacional de Sierra Nevada, Granada.
~30 minute exposure centered on Polaris, shows us the Earth's rotation. I love these style photos. So happy this came out so well.
this is the north star, and a farm house and environs. I liked the wonky angle and something else that I can't quite figure out.
The RZR is part of a trio of Polaris vehicles in the modern Matchbox line up, something unusual though rarely ever escape their fate as peg warmers. Too unusual and too small for wider tastes I tend to have several in my collection due to when i've had to purchase full cases from online such as this latest recolour.
Part of 2024 Case F sourced from Jcar in the US as its yet another batch destined to never appear here in the UK!
Mint and boxed.

Nighttime view of the falls.
The colors on the wall were basically as was recorded on the camera. It was a moonless night. Well, really a new moon that had already set.
The sky was changed in the gimp, it was darkened and some reds and greens were subtracted using curves.
This was a long exposure.
It was late at night.
I like the way the wind blew the water around enough on the longer upper falls so that the water seems to just disappear.
a reader spotted this Polaris ATV--the Browning Special Edition--at a hospital in his South Dakota town.
It raises the question: if there's no windshield or airbag, does it matter that the carseat's not rearfacing?

POLARIS A-3
The Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) system of the U.S Navy includes both the nuclear-powered submarine and its missiles. Each of 16 Polaris A-3 missiles could be launched in as many minutes either while the sub was surfaced or submerged. A submarine's mobility provides both increased range and flexibility of target choices.
