This is the full image of the radio mast star trails...

16mm Nikkor, D3, 30sec exposures @f4, ISO650, 34 exposures at one minute intervals.



And finally, for now!

Taken at Stickle Pike last night, in full Moon, D3, Nikkor 16mm f2.8, 20seconds, f4 ISO400, 61 exposures at minute intervals.



The Moon was just out of the frame, I should have waited until later but cloud was forecast and I wanted to try to get oblique lighting on the rocks.

Processed in Lightroom Classic and StarStax. Partly de-fished ~50% in Lr.

This is on Roe Island, the ferry jetty for the Piel Island ferry and the lifeboat station.

D3, 18-35 f4 lens at 28mm. 5.0 sec at f5.6, ISO 800




I have just been reminded where I heard of Piel Island before.

It was the landing place of Lambert Simnal invasion force in 1487.
He was the boy child that the Yorkists tried to use as a substitute for the real heir to the throne in their last ditch stand in the war of the roses. Needless to say the army was routed by Henry VII in Newark and my remaining Yorkist ancestors legged it back to Halifax. Small world. :lol:

I was hoping somebody would name that constellation - Orion, I searched all my star 'apps' but without success. Thanks Eric. I will update the caption.

Photographically the D3 is the best thing I have ever done, from the moment I used yours briefly, I knew it was what I needed.

The D1 was a good camera which gave me a lot of enjoyment for three years but the D3 is a superb tool.

I am hoping the D3S, which is on the horizon, will fix the banding issue when the sensor gets hot. I am finding I need to restrict the exposure rate to 20 seconds per minute at ISO400 to avoid the issue, but that works well enough for star trails, so I can't complain.

I took another star trails sequence last night, I feel it's my best yet, the sky was perfect, full moon and zero cloud. I could have stayed out all night but after tree weeks of playing Mr. Shifter I was too tired. I'm sure there will be more clear nights.


It is ready for release when you are ready Robert.

Another little foray tonight.

Had planned to go up to the Stickle Pike location but snow and poorly treaded tyres conspired to stop me when I was almost at the top of the hill, only about a quarter of a mile but too far to carry the gear on my own late at night.

Had a rethink and decided to go to Coniston but before I got there I changed my mind and went to a location I haven't used for a long while which has a good view to the South, over Morecambe Bay.

About two to three inches of snow on the hills, temperature was about -3.

This was the first one I took, D3, Nikkor 16mm fisheye, 25seconds @ f4, ISO400, de-fished in Lightroom Classic.

Looking at that this morning it's rubbish compared with what I am seeing in the Lightroom window on the same monitor. The Lightroom window is much sharper, with better contrast and MANY, more distinct stars.

I usually post images via Flicker but for some reason I can upload TO Flicker and I can see the image on Flicker, but can't get to the page to get the link to copy the URL so I can display it here. Mmmm...

o.O

That's better am able to get to the Flicker copy page again... Still not wonderful but better.



Via forum software (for comparison). The snow covered fields and the whole sky is rubbish by comparison:

Mmmm, not sure what happened there.

Perhaps I was too tired... I have reprocessed it using 'StarryLandscapeStacker' and this is the result...

Same basic image as above, Nikon D3, Nikkor 16mm f2.8 Fisheye, 25 sec @ f4, ISO 800, 10 exposures, stacked with ten dark exposures (blank taken with the lens cap on).

Overlooking Morecambe Bay at about 2 am. Camera pointing due South.

Some more night time pix of Morecambe Bay, taken early this morning 01:30 ish

First from Walney Island of the Devonshire Hall building, two exposures HDR with the D300S 1600 ISO and the 80-200 f/2.8. used a tripod but the lettering isn't really sharp.



Second from near Rampside, across Morecambe Bay, Heysham nuclear power station, three exposure HDR hand held braced on a concrete sea wall.




I have added Caption and Title in Lightroom, see screenshot...
