Hi Guys, Alice and I are both well, and are still in South West WA, and enjoying every day as we travel along.
At the moment we are in the wide open spaces near Nannup, with blue skies for the last three weeks and ink black skies at night, the Milky Way just about casts a shadow.
Hence my post here.
I have done, and know enough, about Deep Space imaging, but have never done any star trails, and because the nights are so dark here I thought I might give it a go.
Could someone here please assist with the settings to take good star trails of the SCP region.
I will be using a tripod mounted Canon 5D, with remote, and Canon 50mm F/1.2L lens.
The question I ask is: ISO setting, lens F Number, amount of time for each exposure, and how many should I take to do a reasonable star trail, plus anything else that I might need to know.
Many thanks in advance.
Leon
