Streaky Saturn 'n' Stars

Friday, May 27, 2011

The planet Saturn (yellowish bright streak toward upper right) and a clear-sky-full-of-other-stars appear as streaks in this 20-minute exposure. The image was created using five stacked four-minutes exposures, shot at f/7.1, 200 ISO and an 18mm focal length. The exposure time was from 9:48-10:08 PM, Thursday, May 26, 2011. This view looks southeast from a position just west of the grounds at Christ Community United Methodist Church in Marion, Iowa. The bright streak at top center was made from the -0.07 magnitude star Arcturus, in the constellation Bootes.
