50 minute #StarTrails #timelapse behind #TheEyeCatcher 18th March 2025. Video created from the cumulative files I saved while stacking the images in #StarStaX. #Oxfordshire, UK #Canon1100D + 50mm lens

50 minute #StarTrails behind #TheEyeCatcher in #Oxfordshire, UK 18th March 2025. #Canon1100D with 50mm fixed lens, ISO-800 f/3.2 for 25 seconds. Images stacked with 15 darks using #StarStaX. I removed the aircraft trails in processing.

4 different versions of a 20 minute #StarTrails taken while we were on holiday in #NorthWales. This is #StTanwyg church, #Llandanwg, also called the "church in the sand" because it is nestled in the dunes. The skies there are very dark so I did some light painting on a couple of shots to create different versions. Canon 1100D 10mm wide angle lens, 25sec ISO-3200 f/4.5 for 20 mins. This beautiful little church really stole my heart #NightscapePhotography #Wales #StarStaX

3 hour 35 minute #StarTrails #timelapse from images taken overnight on 10th/11th August 2024. This was created from 1,400 x 8 second shots at ISO-1600 f/3.5. I stacked the images in #StarStaX and saved the cumulative files to create this video. There were 3 #Perseid #Meteors + 1 #sporadic #meteor in this video, the rest is aircraft and satellites.

As I was imaging from dusk until dawn, I had a LOT of images to play with to create some #StarTrails This is 8 hours, made up from 1,650 x 15 second exposures, ISO-1600 f/3.5. Stacked using #StarStaX You can view the timelapse video of this here: https://youtu.be/hPJdB7pOk7I?si=Fn68Y9VOFPBI-K0F

I love that the town lights do not wash out the stars.

A more artistic version of the scene.

Had a play with #StarStaX to create a star trail from about 100 of the timelapse frames. Used 'comet mode' for blending. Final tweaks in #DarkTable.

2 years ago today I finally completed my 24 #StarTrails project, combining star trails images taken through a full year from the same spot in the UK. This wasn't easy to pull off! Learn how I did it here: https://youtu.be/4yiAOCDbmqI #Starstax #FullCircleStarTrails #24HourStarTrails

Do you want to learn how to create #StarTrails photos + timelapse videos? I've just published a video on my You Tube channel that shows you how - from start to finish - using nothing but free software. Watch here: https://youtu.be/yrzNp6flb8E

Tonight the moon and Jupiter are next to each other. Using an iPhone XR, I took 12 exposures of 10 minutes each which were then stacked with StarStax. The lens started to fog up causing the glow effect.

I created this #startrails photo a year ago today. The Moon was full so it was illuminating the church and some of the foreground. It's only 45 mins but is one of my favourites. #Canon1100D with 10-18mm lens, 90 x 30 second shots at ISO-800 f/4.5 +40 darks, stacked with #StarStaX #startrailsphotography #astrophotography
