Slowly twisting, in the wind

A crop from the previous video in my stream, hoping the stars will be easier to see.

That's the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor) on the right side.

Star trails around Polaris

Combination of eighty-one 30-second frames taken this morning before sunrise. Moonlight illuminates the trees and gives the sky its nice blue color.

See a video of these constituent frames (plus a few more that I didn't include here because the sky was getting too bright).

Star trails, looking north

from my backyard, with a nearly full moon.

this was supposed to be much longer, but the camera battery gave out after just 4 minutes. I'll try again with a fully charged battery...
