What does 6 hours of Astronomy look like?
Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2009 8:06 pmLast 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.

I was at the Newcastle Regional Library yesterday and they had an exhibition on astronomy from local astronomers/photogs and that picked my interest.

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

Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 2:09 pmLooks 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.
