It was a special day (birthday) for me yesterday. The sky was unusually clear and I was able to see many stars from my deck. I quickly located the Big Dipper Constellation and from there identified the Polaris that just barely escaped the house next door. I figured why not shot the star trails for this special occasion. I used the Interval Time Shooting in my Nikon D600 camera with Tokina 16-28mm lens. Here are the camera settings: ISO 400, shooting on 30 second interval for about 200 shots taking almost two hours – once the camera started clicking I just went to bed. I used a special star trails software to stack up all these shots to produce this star trails image this morning!

Beautiful
Thank you, glad you like it. I had to do it deep in the night when all neighbors turned the lights off.
Thank you!
Quite beautiful and awesome.
Thanks, it’s always fun to shoot star trails especially from my own backyard.
Thank you, I had lots of fun shooting it.
