In my further quest to create star trails in various conditions, I tried one over Johannesburg. With the extreme amount of ambient light I was not very enthusiastic about the outcome due to the fact there was so much ambient light. I did the time lapse anyway, also to find the right angle to get a decent foreground as well as a nice star trail was not easy. Also due to Grand Central airport being close-by, there was quite a bit of air traffic which is clear in the image. Anyway, the result was better than expected…time lapse to follow soon!
Below is the still image after being put through photoshop using overlays to produce a single image from the approximate 380 images taken, shot over 4 hrs.
