Description

This is the result of my first attempt at creating a star trails image.  There isn't really much foreground of interest when shooting from my roof, so I opted for a 'zoomed' look through the FMA180 lens.  My intervalometer doesn't allow for 0s delay, so there are gaps in the trails.  The star I centered on to start with is Errai in Cepheus.  I intended to aim at Polaris, but didn't double check what I was looking at in the camera's viewfinder.

I used the ALT/AZ tripod that came with the Celestron AstroMaster 80AZS telescope I bought a long time ago.
