Stellar Vortex

view map

The night sky is simply wonderful from Saas Fee, once you move away from the village lights a little. This was taken from a path over an area that is a golf course in Summer and a ski slope in Winter.
Total 1 hour exposure, comprising of 6 x 10-minute exposures with a fixed camera. The Pole Star, Polaris is towards top right.

Canon EOS 7D ,Tamron 28mm f/2.5
StarTrails (from www.startrails.de) was used to stack the images and dark frames. For post-processsing I used Canon Photo Professional to reduce chrominance noise, followed by a 'salt & pepper' filter in Paint Shop Pro to remove hot pixels. Finally I adjusted the curves & colour balance, also in Paint Shop Pro. hide exif
