As the earth rotates while photographing a fixed area of the sky for a long duration, the light of the spinning stars naturally leaves behind trails in the photo. To make the image above, I photographed the stars in the northern sky continuously for 2 hours, giving me 348 exposures. This let me create 2 products; a star stacked photo of circumpolar star trails, and a time-lapse video of the stars swirling as they incrementally form star trails. I photographed the stars above the Schnebly Hill Formation in Sedona, AZ. I was able to create the spectacular footage of the star trails as they grew using cumulative image saving in the amazing StarStax app.
