Stanies Star Trail

[Ryderscope]

This one has been on my hit list for a while and I finally found time last week with good weather to give it a go. The building in the foreground is St. Stanislaus College (Stanies) located in Bathurst NSW, Australia. Details of image are:

- 60 frames of 100 seconds each @ ISO200
- Canon EF 20mm F2.8 set at F3.2
- Software = Image Stacker, Star Tracer and Photoshop CS4
- Canon 60Da
- Astronomik CLS CCD clip in light pollution filter

cool shot! or should i say warm? :)
is the redness the result of the filter?

[Ryderscope]

Thanks, the redness is probably a result of the filter and the fact that I am using the the 60Da. I might have another shot at reprocessing to see if I can tone it down a bit.

Yeh it's a little too red, but a nice effort!

Updated version.

Toned down the saturation and pulled the red channel down a smidge in curves.
