Winter stars over Saddleworth

Winter stars over Saddleworth
A very cold December night tempts me out to try another star panoramic shot. This taken on the top of' 'Saddleworth Moor' where in all honesty I had expected it to be far darker. My tripod in about 12cm of icy snow and the temperature is -4C. This shot comprises of around 9 portrait photos (about 280deg) stitched for a panoramic photo. Each photo taken by my 18mm lens at around 6 seconds exposure. Freezing hands later, was it worth it?

TOZ, tiabunna, Erhard Bernstein, Steve Paxton and 3 other people have particularly liked this photo

Thank you Jaap. At the time, I called the experiment a failure but on re-looking at my photographs I thought better of that.

All the Best, Herb

Hi Herb,

Full marks and great respect for attempting this, and getting a reasonable result.
Unfortunately there are not many places in England with no light pollution...

Best Wishes

Thanks Peter. Always nice to see you here. Yes, I had looked on GE and saw this place as being reasonably dark but no -between nearby small towns, villages, roads and lit-up comms towers -light was everywhere. Ah well, not wuite the result I wanted but could have been worse. Glad that you appreciate it all the same. I wish you and yours, Seasons Greetings my friend. Herb

An excellent night panorama. Sadly, light pollution is hard to avoid.

Thanks for this visit George. After seeing yours, I realise this is very poor in comparison but we have what we have. I remember this night as being extremely cold!

Cheers, Herb
