. N I G H T S C A P E R • Photo by Royce Milky Way over historic Simpson Springs Pony Express Station, Utah. POINTS of LIGHT -or- STAR TRAILS Which do you like best? The single, 15 seconds exposure on the left, or the 2520 seconds (42 minutes) star trails exposure on the right (which was interrupted by passing cars with their headlights and tail lights)? TECHNIQUE & EXIF: Canon 6D (H-alpha modified by @SpencersCamera) + Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 @ 15mm • Single exposure: 15 sec, f/2.8, ISO 8000 • Star Trails: one exposure @ 2520 seconds (42 minutes), f/5.0, ISO 160. Both are single exposures. My simplified star trails technique is explained on page 62 of my eBook (@MilkyWay_NightScapes). No need to stack hundreds of exposures, like other complicated star trail methods. All processing is done in-camera, using the LENR mode (Long Exposure Noise Reduction), rather than having to do post processing stacking afterwards on your computer 💻 joining together hundreds of single exposures into circling trails!
