Star Trails

Star trails photographed during the perseids meteor shower.

There is one meteor in the photo although it is kind of hard to see.

exposure time was 30 seconds for each image, iso 3200, 50

images stacked using Startrails software. Thanks for any

comments.

Hi Christa,

You should consider joining my team of professional astronomers to capture some meteor events with us.

The Perseid is obvious here, as its path crosses the star trails arc. Sometimes, using the trailing method, meteor become ost due to the overlap of the the stars or the direction of the meteor falls in the same direction as the trail itself.

Best Regards, Mike

Best regards, Christa!
