Spinning

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

Here's just over 2 hrs worth of circumpolar star trails taken last night while hunting down 30 galaxies with my brother-in-law's 10" Dob out towards Cunningham's Gap SW of Brisbane. (Had some great views of the Leo Triplet and Virgo cluster plus several others, and finished off with great views of Saturn at opposition using a borrowed 3.5mm Nagler!)

We intentionally parked the car facing north so that I could pick up the reflected trails.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks very much Greg, Mike, Colin and Mike!

I've put together a little timelapse using these images as well, which can be seen here (apologies for the Flickr compression artifacts):
