Excellent video. I’m going to check out your How To class as I’ve been messing around with star trails videos but doing very minimal edits. I like the results but see how much better they can be. Question: some of your videos seem to show the camera panning. How do you do that? If you teach it in the class, more reason for me to go there!
I see you don't interact in the comments much but I'm hoping you might here. I'm not much of a photographer but I'm curious, you've taken many star trails I'm sure, but I'm wondering, are there any differences in characteristics in photos between a stable camera and a slowly panned camera in either direction a foot or two, one left to right, and another right to left, moving stars into and out of frame? Yes, it would be a shorter photo than a time lapse, but at the right angle you could shoot 360 degrees, but it would be a bit time consuming. If you have a common background everything will be blurred but if you're shooting the sky at night at the stars, other than the stars trails appearing straight as oppose to circular, are there any other characteristic differences between the stationary and moving camera that would be prevalent to be able to distinguish the difference between the two methods? Would you be able to tell if the night sky is blurring or if the star trails are printing differently in some way?
I’m sorry but this reminds me of listening to firstly an artificial recording, apologies, I don’t mean this in an offensive way, the content and information is correct, it’s like one of my favourite writers, Bill Bryson he is an incredible writer both funny with a wit that makes one laugh out loud in his books on countries and incredibly interesting in his books on the universe, body and home, but the best example of why his audible books are narrated by other people, is a walk in the woods, they even made a film out of it, but wow, he can’t narrate 😮 nearly all his books are narrated by other individuals for that reason. Please take this comment in the way it is meant, not as a criticism, but an truthful observation, it’s such a shame as I said at the start, the info is spot on. DG U.K. PS I watch lots of Tubes on a variety of subjects and only give honest reviews.
Very nice but honestly too much work. Question: The foreground doesn't change. So why don't you do a foreground correction like removing those two separate light tracings (? Somebody hiking down the mountain with a headlamp in the middle of the night!) in the final image? Sounds a lot easier to me.
Super easy to follow along. Thank you so much for the help!
Thanks a lot for the detailed walk through
Best tutorial i ever seen on Star Trails Timelapse thanks for making this video 😁😁😁
Great tutorial
It takes a long time to use Photoshop to preview each image. Instead you could use a free tool called FastStone Image Viewer.

Cool. I'll have to try. How long was each exposure and what was the interval between exposures?
If for example 20 sec, the interval needs to be set at 21 seconds
Thx
1:41 ahh yes, the star is so bright it shines right through the mountain 😂
On my Mac, StarStax now requires tiff images, it used to take jpgs.
what's your recommended time interval between shots?
Could you please help me to convert nightlapse in to star trails.
