- Put your camera with a wide angle lens on a tripod.
- Take a lot of pictures at regular intervals (eg. 30s exposure, 10s
for saving to memory, 30s exposure...) at about 400ISO and F/D=8 or
more.
If you need a sequencer, I suggest Denis
Joye's Pocket Shutter .. It's just wonderful..
- Start a list in Starmax by selecting your pictures.
- Build Star Trails with StarMax-AddMax function.
- Use StarMax-AddMin process and build a pseudo dark picture that you
will subtract to your AddMAx result to correct most of the light
pollution.
- StarMax allows you to save each step of the star trails process, then
it's fun to make an animated star trails file with a free software like
VirtualDub.
