Back Garden Star Trail take 2

michael23 · 27-03-2012, 22:17

A clearer night tonight so decided to pop my camera up for some more trails and for longer tonight. In other parts of the sky I saw 2 shooting stars, 12 satellites plus Mars, Venus and Jupiter.

164 30sec exposures at iso 800

Also a black and white version to counteract the light pollution.

well you have nailed the location of polaris

and pulled some nice trails off, did you shoot in raw?, if so just adjust the kelvins to combat light polution rather than converting to B&W
Now just to find another location with some forground

Hi Darell, yes I did shoot in raw, forgot all about changing the wb, will give it a try. I have been running through a list of locations that might be suitable.
