Stars wheeling about the North Celestial Pole, and Polaris, in a composite stack of 100 frames shot July 8, 2014 as part of a time-lapse sequence but here stacked with StarStax with the Comet effect mode. The landscape is from one frame to capture the lighting from the Moon at one instant rather than blurring the lighting over an hour or so of motion. Each frame taken with the Canon 5D MkII and 14mm Rokinon lens at for 20 seconds at ISO 2000.
