[QUOTE="Chavezshutter, post: 924, member: 3"] Thanks [USER=20]@Andy Smith[/USER]! Most star trial shots have white, overblown star trials which I don't think are too attractive. It is a common mistake to use the same settings for regular astrophotography ( ie, max open aparture, high ISO) in star trails and this robs the final image of colours in the stars as well as they make a messy image from capturing too many stars which spin in the final image and become overcluttered. One of the big advantages of star trials is that they are not as sensitive to light pollution and a lens with a more modest aparture like f4 can be used successfully to make a star trail, you would struggle a bit doing regular astro with an f/4. You can also drop your ISO quite sharpy in star trails on comparison to regular astrophotography. I plan to do at least a 6 hour trail leading to just before sunrise for my next star trail, this should get even more colour into the star trail. Take a look at Lincoln Harris on IG to see how its really done, amazing colours. Thanks for your comments 🙏 [/QUOTE]
