Star trails : sheer beauty
128 separate five-minute images were combined to produce this result. The stars form circles about the south celestial pole but the background glow is not from light pollution. It is produced by the combined light from some of the Milky Way’s four hundred billion stars. This image was exposed with a Canon 20D camera and a 12-24mm f/4 Sigma zoom lens, set to a focal length of 12mm.
