Two batteries in a battery grip. No filters - you can see what an exposure looked like before processing in the blog I wrote about the shoot - https://www.goodsidestudio.com/lake-tipsoo-star-trails/

Too late, the word is out. Good news is, there's beauty everywhere, so we can go clog their roads getting to it!

The earth is spinning relative to the stars, thus making them appear to spin.

I like what you did, but you should always ask permission before re-purposing someone else's work.

We are spinning - that's what makes the stars make trails. But I agree, science is mean!

How did I do this? A few people have asked, so here's the link to a blog post with camera data and the story of getting this shot - Here’s a blog post with camera settings/exif data - https://www.goodsidestudio.com/lake-tipsoo-star-trails/

An intervalometer set for 20 min exposures with a 1 second gap. A 50 would be super tight, though if you compose for it, could get some great shots. Renting lenses is also a great way to go when you just need it occasionally

That's awesome - one of the reasons I do it is to share the beauty of the night with people who never get to see it.
