Startrails over the Tortolita Mountains

Startrails over the Tortolita Mountains by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

A star trail photo was made showing rising stars over the Tortolita range which is located north of Tucson, AZ. The photo was taken facing the eastern sky shortly after moonrise. Each individual image was taken with a Canon t2i and a Canon 100 mm f/2.0 prime lens at f/5.0. Each exposure was 13 seconds at ISO 400. Fifty exposures were stacked using the new startrails.exe version 2.0. Conversion to black and white in Photoshop really intensified the contrast enabling the detail of the saguaros on the ridge to "pop".
