About
This is a 5 hour exposure taken in the evening of November 13, 2004 beginning at 6:30 pm. The image was darkened as the slide looks like daylight. I would have taken a longer exposure, but I had other plans for the lens that night (see previous image). The upper corners are vignetted by my dew heater.
Shots like this are quite easy. Stop down the lens to a middle aperture, set camera on a tripod, compose a scene pointing towards the pole (north if north of equator), set the shutter speed to 'B' (bulb) and with a locking cable release open the shutter. Go someplace warm for a few hours and then come back to close the shutter and collect the camera.
