Star Trails in Moonlight

Project Notes--

Location: Baraboo, WI USA
Temperature: 50F
Weather: Clear sky but fog near ground in early morning
Date/Time: 2019-10-08 2:00am to 6:00(ish) Central Time
Subject: Star Trails around North Star, Draconids/Orionids

Camera: Canon EOS Rebel T7i
Lens: Rokinon 2.8/14mm
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 3200
Exposure time: 318 12sec exposures over 1hr 20min

Comments: While setting up I saw a very bright fireball!
There were 930 images taken during the session but fog
rolled in so most images were not included in star trails.
The foreground is from an image taken earlier in the
evening while the moon was still out and all light is
from the moon.
There is one meteor in the photo near Polaris (a little
up and to the left). The streak near the ground on the
right side of the photo is a flare from a satellite.
