Canon 60Da Star Trail Astrophotography

Star Trails - Canon 60Da, Canon Lens EF 16 35mm f2.8L II U, Fixed Tripod, Dew Heater, 37 images - Exposure time 2 min , ISO 400, Aperture F4.0. Post-processing: StarStax and Photoshop, Star Spikes filter

Canon 60Da Star Trail Astrophotography - Upstate New York

For last image I used the Star Spikes filter.

 From image easy to see that stars have counterclockwise direction of rotation. Our watch hands do not follow the star rotation direction; its follow the rotation direction of shadow of Sun. The shadow has the opposite direction to sky rotation. Even simple astro photo has a lot staff behind the scenes. This is why I like astrophotography.

Explore Scientific 82° Series 8.8mm Eyepiece

I bought Wide angle  Eyepiece. Every time kids complain that they not able to see planets or stars in the telescope but later find right angle of view confirm that it is OK. I hope that now with wide angle Eyepiece problem will solved.

The  Explore Scientific has very nice box :)
