Star trailing

In the Porto Velho skies

Above a first experience with star trails. It was made with a D40X Nikon digital SRL. For the 28 minutes exposure, I had to buy the camera's expensive infrared ML-L3 remote control.

In the first attempts, the city lights ruined the photos in Bauru, Sao Paulo. The picture above was made in Porto Velho, Rondonia (where the city lights did ruin some photos too).

So far I've learned there's still a lot to be learned to get real good star trails. I'll keep trying.
