nice work Steve. Personally I think the single exposures are a bit overexposed. It might look better with less trails and a darker sky inbetween

Steve Paxton club has replied to Ko Hummel club
Its some thing I have always wanted to try I will do a north facing shot but it was into the city lights here so no point. this was set up as the southern pole is higher I set it on top of the rock , the north lower that went to the bottom of the picture. my normal astro setting here same as the bow.

For the bows you realy need ISO 1600. For trails I use ISO 400 t=30 sec.f/3,5

Steve Paxton club has replied to Ko Hummel club
I agree with you that depending on ISO the number of stars you get I have gone down as far as ISO 250.

Thank you its quite interesting to see the effects you can get just from your shoot direction.

Fascinating... It goes to show just how much the stars do move!
5 years ago.
Steve Paxton club has replied to Gudrun club
The interesting part is its the earth that moves but as we are on the earth it looks like the stars that move. the tracker is designed to counteract that movement. the camera shoot direction gives you a whole gamut of star patterns and I guess knowing how to use them... many thanks.
