Milkway at Big Meadows

Test shot using my Vixen Polarie at Big Meadows, Shenandoah VA (about 8 20 second exposures)

 

Equipment:

Canon 5D Mark III

Rokinon 14mm f2.8 @ f2.8

Vixen Polarie

 

Processed using Registax 6

 

Note: Because the Vixen Polarie is tracking the stars (using Polaris as the axis to rotate around), the ground will start to blur due to the rotation of the camera on the motor of the Polarie. The trees on the horizon are starting to look blurry. But the sky is sharp with no star trailing or coma. This the opposite of star trails where the camera is fixed (not moving) and the stars appear to rotate with every shot.
