Star Trails over the viewing field at the Pony Club

Always wanted to have a go at star trails.
Thanks to Icemans recent posts from Nambucca Heads, StarTrails.de. has been downloaded and the first attempt made at our monthly outing at the Pony Club.

Not wanting to spend a lonely night in a dark corner of the field, the D200 was set up to take 30 second exposures a second apart at iso 500, f3.5 and 18mm, till the battery died. Then I would wander down to change the battery and recharge the flat one. Hence all the gaps in the trails.

Really good fun watching StarTrails.de. slowly stack the 280 frames into the final image.

Feeling a little chuffed that it worked and looking forward to trying again.

Cheers
Deeno
