55 minutes of star trails with a dieing tree. It was a calm night but there were occasional breezes. If a star trail looks like it in front of a branch that branch moved during the exposure. If it didn’t move it look like the star went behind the branch. #Photography #Astrophotography #StarTrails

OM System has a ‘high res’ mode where the camera takes multiple exposures and stacks them; upping resolution and reducing noise. The ‘hand held’ option aligns the shots before stacking. This is that mode on a GEM mount; 15 min. of data; 50mb of picture. #Astrophotography. #Photography #OMSystem
