Greetings. Just dropping a line so it isn’t assumed that I have died.

Hopefully I will soon have some results from playing around after learning about star trail photography. It is regretful I don’t have the disposable income to follow the instructions properly. My digital camera only allows for 30 seconds of open shutter, not quite long enough according to the guides I have read. Namely in the hour range. My Canon AE-1 has the ability, but the problem of developing film.

So for the time being I will experiment with different errors warned about when shooting star trails. Perhaps the results can be useful in certain situations. Maybe some of them will yield possible entries for the Clearfield County Fair this year.

It looks like this year I will be entering the entering the Professional category. In either case last year was the final year I could enter the Senior V group due to age. The rules are simple, 2 photos per class:

*Color (Non-digital)
*Black and White (Non digital)
*Anything Digital.
