Amlan, We shouldn't turn it on when shooting startrail. Already, my cam takes about 7-8sec between shots. If I turn on, it will take even more time (equivalent to exposure duration).

I am using a compact camera. Pushing ISO anything above base ISO will introduce noise + extended/continuous use & long exposure introduces thermal noise + my expertise in image editing introduces majority of the noise you see . Deepskystacker have an option for that. Uploading dark frames along with the light frames helps to reduce noise. Even @ ISO 1600, I could get clean images.

That purple colour may be because of my choice of white balance, I guess.

I'd taken this one with a canon sx120, CHDK. Switching on NR will give you dots instead of proper trails but it takes care of most of the noise. The only thing I did here was take the initial shot with a flash.

Star Trail
Attempt # 1

I messed up a little. So I had to remove some of the exposures.


SX130 | f/3.4 | 1min x 82 exposure |ISO 200 |F 28mm eq.

I don't why the foreground subject (tree) isn't clear. It looks kinda blurred...

And some of the stars are in front of the tree.

Good try...

Captured handheld with auto focus,
Captured 1st shot then set the exposure then took 4-5 shots,

Give him your D3100 and ask him to shoot alongside.

chitvan that is very professionally shot.

sujoy, convince your parents that you are completely mad, atleast that's what my parents seem to think when I do these crazy photography escapades but once you show them the end result they'll understand

^ He is gonna get married soon. It's very good time to convince his parents that he is mad.
