Where is the orbital pole in the sky (near
what star)? Does it change over the course of
days or months or does the ISS keep a
consistent orientation relative to the stars?
For star trail shots like this, diond, the
camera is aimed at the north star. This
particular shots seems to be 70 stacked
images, taken at 30 secs each; a total of a
45 minute exposure.
