Streaky Saturday

This image is the product of stacking 56 30-second exposures into a single image using StarStax software. Total time duration was from 8:00-8:40 PM, Saturday, February 11, 2012. I had to overcome of some 5-degree F windchill factors and the ruining glare of headlights from an oncoming errant vehicle at far right of one exposure to achieve this finished image. The headlight glare was subsequently Photoshopped out. This image looks east toward Noelridge Christian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The bright streaks at upper left belong to the constellation Ursa Major, the bright streak emanating from the right side of the building is the -0.83 magnitude planet Mars. Each exposure was shot at f/5, 250 ISO and 18mm focal length.
