Its amazing the things we miss while we sleep. The night is such a fascinating time, part of it being that when you're up at 2 a.m., so many people are asleep, the world feels much lonelier. When I walk around at night, it comforts me that all the people in the houses I pass are warm and cozy, lying in bed. I feel set apart when I take the time to enjoy the night, and especially the night sky. The camera can pick up details that our eyes usually miss, like the color of the stars, or the movement of the constellations, the little bits of dust caught in flash, the airplanes and meteorites and satellites that rarely take the time to notice.
This is a composite image from 402 images. Each exposure was 30s at f/3.5 at ISO 400. The flash popped at the beginning of each exposure 1/8 power. Stitched together using StarTrails and minor edits in Photoshop.
The video below tracks the motion of the stars through the course of the night.
