This is my first attempt of shooting stars trail. I know there is allot of noise in the photo…but it was my first attempt and worth documenting …at least for me.
These are 66 shots combined in one photo using Startrails version 1.1. The pictures were taken in Oman Wahiba Sands
Nikon D90, Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 lens, 60 exposure at 30 seconds each and all captures at ISO 100 and tripod mounted, combined in Startrails.exe
My first atempt to creating the startrails effect. I'm not really happy with this picture, but it's my first atempt, so I hope I'll get better :)

Made from 128 thirty-second exposures; the same ones I made the movie out of (but not all of them; I stopped before the sky got too bright).

It's been a while since I did a proper startrail shot. This is from my backyard with a Rokinon 8mm fisheye. I started this shot at 9:30 (after fighting with my shutter release ... I think it is smarter than me) and ended it around 11:00. I love the clouds moving through. A lot of people think that you need clear skies to make a good startrail, but I tend to like the ones with cloud movement. Now if I could just coordinate with Dulles airport to shutdown the air traffic while I am shooting then I will be in business.
Thanks for looking.
Yesterday I tried to take an image of startrails above our house. As it happens, the ISS used the opportunity to make an appearance in my photo.
Ive wanted to have a go at this for a while but had to figure out how to do it. So I set the camera up in the back garden stuck on the 20mm lens, set the focus to infinity at F2.8 and let the camera take 110 shots of 30 secs. Ive stacked the low res reference jpegs together in a freeware Startrails program and this was the result.
I had to take out 10 shots when my next door neighbours cat set off the outside light which is why there is a gap in some of the trails. I also captured 2 aircraft and a satelite. Woo Hoo. I just need to find a dark place with some interest now and have a go at something creative. Where are the car keys........

The result of my first try to capture startrails. Unfortunately clouds started gathering after 5 mins and after another 2 one couldn't see the stars at all :( More startrails pictures are definitely gonna come when I get another try!
I used software from www.startrails.de to stitch the photos together, a total of 9 pictures.
Though, I put it all together in a short timelapse movie, it can be viewed here (it consists of all the photos taken, 56 of them): flic.kr/p/98kwQk

980 shots from 7.30pm through until 4.30am - I changed cards when I went to bed and it continued until the 2nd 8Gb card was full. Video sequence also created here
I came back down at around 5am to switch back to the original card and continue shooting a further 210 frames for dawn coming over the horizon - film clip can be seen here
3 Hour Wide Angle Star Trails 15/01/16 18.15 to 21.15
This is a 3 hour exposure of the Earth rotating
Taken with a Canon 1000D with 18-55mm lens set at 18mm and f3.5, wide angle lens attachment on a tripod
ISO-1600 for 30 seconds. Just under one min under 3 hours worth of images taken, then stacked together using Startrails freewear. Finished in Photoshop Elemence 6
My first attemp at startrailing, 99 pics of 25 sec exposition f8 iso 640, sigma 10-20. Not the perfect one but my darling was cold so we had to leave early. I wanted to do 250 shots. Next time.
There are in fact stars over the city!

Prove di Startrail
Giorni scorsi ero a Pont Breuil – Valsavaranche (AO) ed ho provato a fare uno startrail. Non ho esperienza in questo genere astrofotografico per cui il risultato non è certo eccezionale: non ho ripreso abbastanza panorama terrestre perché volevo dare priorità all’effetto circolare. In ogni modo voglio presentarlo ugualmente come prima esperienza.
Lo startrail è una tecnica fotografica che cattura il movimento apparente delle stelle causato dalla rotazione terrestre sul proprio asse, che fa sembrare che le stelle si muovano intorno ai poli celesti, creando spettacolari immagini in cui le stelle descrivono traiettorie circolari nel cielo notturno.
In pratica, si scatta una serie di foto con esposizioni lunghe che si combina un'unica foto per creare scie luminose che mostrano il percorso delle stelle nel cielo.
La traccia lasciata dal movimento apparente delle stelle cambia a seconda di dove si punta la fotocamera. Se la si punta a nord, inquadrando così la stella polare, si otterranno strie circolari come quelle che ho ripreso nelle mie foto, ma rivolgendo invece l’obiettivo verso est o ovest, la curvatura andrebbe pian piano attenuandosi fino al punto in cui diventa una retta. Puntando a sud, essendo ancora nell’emisfero boreale e sopra la linea dell’equatore si otterrebbero invece dei semicerchi molto molto ampi il cui centro resta sempre l’opposta stella polare.
Il bello di questo genere di astrofotografia è che può essere realizzata con una semplice macchina fotografica fissata su un buon cavalletto aiutandosi eventualmente con uno scatto remoto per fare pose sufficientemente lunghe di almeno 30 secondi. Importante è poi il cercare un luogo abbastanza buio, lontano da centri abitati e aree con luci artificiali.
Il mio setup
Io come setup ho usato la mia macchina foto con un obiettivo Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4
Ho ripreso foto da 45 sec con ISO 100, impostando l’obiettivo a 24mm f/4. per catturare centinaia di foto del cielo notturno, tutte puntando verso la Stella Polare. Poi le ho unite per ottenere quell'effetto a spirale che mostra visivamente la rotazione terrestre.
L’immagine dove il cielo è ancora blu è ottenuta da una quindicina di foto riprese dalle 22:34 alle 22:48 mentre quella più scura è realizzata con un centinaio di immagini riprese quando la notte si era fatta più scura, ho lasciato apposta le righe delle meteoriti passate davanti, che ovviamente non hanno subito la deformazione.
Per la post produzione mi sono avvalso di Adobe Lightroom per ridurre il rumore di tutti i fotogrammi sincronizzati e poi di StarStaX, un programma gratuito che mi ha permesso di sovrapporli ed ottenere l’immagine finale.
Startrail Trials
A few days ago, I was in Pont Breuil – Valsavaranche (Aosta) and attempted a startrail. I have no experience with this astrophotography genre, so the result wasn't exactly exceptional: I didn't capture enough panoramic views of the Earth because I wanted to prioritize the circular effect. However, I'd like to share it with you as a first experience.
Startrail is a photographic technique that captures the apparent motion of stars caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis, making the stars appear to move around the celestial poles, creating spectacular images of stars tracing circular paths across the night sky.
Essentially, you take a series of long-exposure photos that are combined into a single image to create light trails that show the path of the stars across the sky.
The trail left by the apparent motion of the stars changes depending on where you point the camera. If you point it north, framing the Pole Star, you'll get circular streaks like the ones I captured in my photos. However, if you instead point the lens east or west, the curvature will gradually fade until it becomes a straight line. Pointing south, still in the Northern Hemisphere and above the equator, you'll instead get very, very wide semicircles whose center remains the opposite Pole Star.
The beauty of this type of astrophotography is that it can be achieved with a simple camera mounted on a good tripod, possibly using a remote shutter release to take sufficiently long exposures of at least 30 seconds. It's also important to find a fairly dark location, away from residential areas and areas with artificial light.
I used my camera with a Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 lens as my setup.
I took 45-second photos at ISO 100, setting the lens to 24mm f/4. To capture hundreds of photos of the night sky, all pointing toward the North Star. I then stitched them together to achieve the spiral effect that visually demonstrates the Earth's rotation.
The image where the sky is still blue is made from about fifteen photos taken from 10:34 PM to 10:48 PM, while the darker one is made from about a hundred images taken when the night had gotten darker. I purposely left the streaks of meteorites that passed in front, which obviously were not deformed.
For post-production, I used Adobe Lightroom to reduce the noise of all the synchronized frames and then StarStaX, a free program that allowed me to overlay them and obtain the final image.
