Star Trails
« on: August 03, 2008, 11:25:18 PM »

http://jasonirby.net/BitBucket/clubnight.png

Made this Sat night at our local Astronomy club observing session.  44 exposures @ 3 minutes each.  (One got dropped due to aircraft trail.  Can you see the gap?)

All the funky red lights on the ground are from people walking around with red flashlights.  Also so green laser pointer trails.

Clear skies,

Very amazing picture.

It use to puzzle me how the stars seemed to move that way.

No, silly, if it were Tom Cruise, he'd have to look down to see him.  He's just a little guy!   :D
