About:
Last Wednesday night the forecast looked good: no clouds, no rain and almost new moon, so I setup my tripod and laptop at my balcony, I used NkRemote to record a time-lapse starting from 23 till 5, exposure was locked to 30 sec at f5, a pause of 30 seconds between shots. After the firsts shot succeeded I went to sleep (no risk of thieves, I live on the third floor with no access to my balcony)
At 6 I woke up and took everything inside and went off to work.
Today I processed everything. Things to remember next time:
- No pause of 30 seconds between shots
- battery can only last for 300 shots
- portrait mode instead of landscape
I was gladly pleased that in our light polluted country it's still possible to make some interesting star trails. The colors you see are already from the rising sun at 2h30 ! Still working on a version without of the 175 first shots, it's a little bit darker

This was one of the startrail pics from this weekend when I sat over a stock tank hoping to catch a few meteors. The clouds moved in later to disappoint the early morning viewing. I managed to get 517 frames to generate this picture.

This is the second part of the pictures I shot last weekend. They where shot during the night or in the early morning before I was able to repair my bike. In the background you can see the "Felberg" which is the highest mountain of the Black Forest.
I've made a timelaps movie out of the single shots from this startrails photography which is only 2s long. I will have to try this once again and take more shots.
I also screwed up a little bit on the camera settings.The timer of my D5100 was set to 31s and the exposure time was 30s. I think the 1s wasn't enough which is why it only recorded one shot every minute instead of two. I first recognized my mistake back home, but the next time I won't make the same mistake again.
Has anyone made similar experiences with timer settings, especially for the D5100?
Yay! I finally got my ''first'' startrail shot :D
The weather conditions weren't perfect, on the right side still a bit of the sun, and on the left side the moon will come up in some minutes, but now i know how to get a good one :)))
I also catched one shooting star!
Have a nice day/night :)
