Star Trails - Just 'Round Polaris


Click Image for Larger Version

This is a wide-angle (18 mm lens) shot that was 1895 seconds long (31 minutes, 35 seconds) on September 9, 2005. Again I have it around the North Celestial Pole, but visible in this one (probably because there are no clouds) are the many colors that the stars display, with deep blues through whites to yellow and some faint reds. Clicking will give a larger 10" version.
