My friend from Reading Mass Rick Nohl, recently posted his first attempt at doing Star Trail photos, and I have to admit it is something I have wanted to do for a long, long time. So tonight when the opportunity arose to put the camera in the back yard and take some long exposures, I figured what the heck!

This is actually 9 photos stacked together in Photoshop. My camera, the Nikon D300s, has a built in intervalometer, so I set it to take 9 30 second exposures, one right after another.

Then it took me about an hour to put it all together adjusting the layers so you could see everything. There is an airplane mid-right hand side of the frame, but I think that is inevitable given our proximity to Hanscom and Logan.

If you look closely at the trees, they look red, and I can only guess that that is the tail lights from the cars going down the street.
