What does 6 hours of Astronomy look like?
Last night myself and 12 other keen individuals set up 9 telescopes for a night of Astronomy. This is a 6 hour shot showing how much activity there is through out the night.

Very cool mate, good to see you finally got around to a really long circles shot.

Very cool shot. Is that a number of long exposures all stacked together? Would you have a good reference on how its done that I can read somewhere on the web?
I was at the Newcastle Regional Library yesterday and they had an exhibition on astronomy from local astronomers/photogs and that picked my interest.

I like the foreground activity in this one Big V. It is almost as good as those trails.

Wow really interesting -
so this is what it looks like when the earth moves (or is it the sky) I never realised just how much activity there was. Like the telescope in the forground - not sure why just do Deb T DebT

Looks awesome... quite a fan of the two different planes of activity, the rotational and horizontal.
I'm interested in the techinque used.. how long were the exposures? I assumed stacked in PS? I'm heading off to the flinders ranges over easter... hoping to give this star trail thing a shot.

72 5 minute exposures taken at 800 ISO f5 with a 17mm lens on a Canon 1DMK111...
