Last night it was clear without any clouds so i figured i might go out and try my luck trying to make star tails. I moved down to my neighbors driveway because that was the darkest part of the street, pointed my camera up at a group of stars, set my shutter speed at 30, f/4.5 and ISO at 1600, I then set up my remote shutter as not to move the camera on the tripod in anyway and went away at it I took 16 shots of 30 seconds each for a total of 8 minutes of photos. I then used StarStaX which is a program that can stack images on top of one another for free. I combined my 16 images and got a pretty decent photo. I then went over to Adobe Photoshop Express and messed with the light and dark and clarity. This is my good copy of my first attempt at star tails. I plan on doing much more of this.
My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.
