I wasn't sure this was going to work but I think it came out better than expected. I don't know what I did wrong to get little small gaps in my star trails besides not using a remote shutter instead of my internal intervalometer. The internal intervalometer on the Sony a7iii has to have at least a 1 second delay. Using a remote shutter there isn't a delay. Thats my best guess any way. This was also my first time trying star trails with a telephoto. This was shot at 600mm in my backyard.
I kept the camera in the same place and waited for the moon to move out of frame then started my trail shots. I only did about 30mins for the trails. Then blended back in the moon into the trail shot. Might have to try this again sometime.
Kyle, great and great lesson learned and shared. You wouldn't think the 1sec delay would be so apparent with star trails probably also due to the magnification of 600mm. What's the rule with magnification everything is exaggerated camera shake, subject movement.
Well their will be other lunar eclipses, and I'd say you're off to a great start. You exceeding with your creativity!
