single photos Mars Trail

So how did I do? One of my first Star trails done with a digital

SLR. Mars was out and very bright, as I was out in the Sun Valley

area of Idaho. I used the electronic cable release. This was a 4 sec

exposer at f/4 with the 50mm 1.8 lens.

Sorry I meant 4 minutes; not seconds, for exposure.

Derek, Nice shot. It looks like your focus was right on. The fainter stars have a nice, crisp, trail. Good job!

Thanks John Baker for the comments. I owe it to the cable, tripod and NO WIND. It was a glorious night, here in the hills of Idaho. It was awesome to experience a sky full of stars and the brightness of Mars.
