Star Shots

DSC_0953A starry night Experimenting with star shots using my fish-eye lens. Actually, any lens that has reliable focus will do, but at F 3.5 this is good enough. You can see the different colors of the stars, something usually hard to see with your eyes. (Though we see it on clear nights in winter.)  Cassiopeia is visible in the centre bottom of the image. The star motion is visible even with the short exposure (30s). 

DSC_0955Another star shot. I moved the camera for this shot. The North star is just left of center at the bottom of the image (Cassiopeia points at it) There were meteors but other than where I caught my head (180 degree FOV is a bugger) I didn't catch any.  Still, the detail beats my earlier attempts - you can see the small stars. Later in the night would have been better, but the clouds were already rolling in.
