Star Trails from The Balcony with Atlas #askyfullofstars #astrophotography #orchestra #starstax
4To help promote my musical release, an orchestral version of A Sky Full of Stars, I have been Astro-photographing the night sky. Here is my star trails timelapse made using 629 x 5 second exposures and Star Stax. I tried something different by incorporating myself into the photo, so for one 5 second exposure, I sat very still. I can't dance but I do sit still very well.
A big thankyou to Alyn Wallace who is now recently deceased as it was his tutorial star trail photography that allowed me to prepare in advance. I used my Canon EOS R10 dslr with an 18mm lens at an f-stop of 5, and an of ISO 3200. With Star Stax, I had dark frames too.
