Jupiter trail by byrdlip

Jupiter trail

Yesterday was an individual picture from this series. Not that there is anything to write home about in this shot. However, the effect from the dew point being reached makes for an interesting effect.

167 individual frames; f5.6; iso 800; 30 second exposure; 10 second gap between frames; 18 mm

starting frame at 1900 PST, last frame 2100 PST, dew starts to affect the exposures about about frame 76 (you can see the other trails start to fade.

Not much difference between air temperature and dew point, air temp was 31F at the time.
Oh I just love this. Will definitely try this in the future. Love playing with shutter speed

Great star trails. on my list to do more of it this year, but there is so much extraneous light and stray aircraft over the NY metro area, even 50 miles out in New Jersey.

@frankhymus Even getting nearer the airport might get you some interesting trails?
