Re: [APML] Star Trails Question

Steve,
Some of what is seen is probably from tripod movement, but it seems mostly
like a sizing issue to me as well.

As for processing, I generally follow the standard stuff for astro work.
Yours looks a little purple on my monitor. How old was the PPF?  I like the
composition with your scope under Polaris.

I used E100 for the trails linked below. I liked the results, but I'll give
E200 a try next time.
