Star Trails from my room window

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Star Trails from my room window

Post by weixing »

Hi,
Friday early morning (I mean really early), the sky was very clear, so I decided to try out star trails image using my mod Canon 450D DSLR with EF 35mm F2.0 lens. I start the timer controller and went to sleep... :)

Below is the result:

Shooting Info
Lens: Canon EF 35mm F2.0 @ F2.0
Camera: Canon 450D Mod with CLS filters

Have a nice day.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

It was a clear morning indeed. Glad to see ring nebula, double double, albireo against 10+ background stars and binoview last quarter clear moon at 120x. :)
