Revenki's photos with the keyword: star trails

My first attempt at taking star pictures with the Nikon D80, using the remote (on bulb) and a tabletop tripod. Not entirely successful, but not bad. Didn't realize the stars would move so quickly in a 6 minute exposure. Cropped off most of the reverse-vignetting (?) in the upper corners and boosted the contrast to bring out a few of the fainter stars.

Playing around with some star-stacking software. Composite of 40, 30-second exposures.
