Algonquin Radio Observatory, Algonquin Park ON 3:09am, 10/01/2016br/ Nikon D800 iso 3200 15s exp f/2.8 14mm cable release, tripod, dew heaters.br/ A star trails image. I spent a weekend at the ARO with friends from a Facebook group I belong to. We were given a tour of the observatory and even got to climb up into the dish which at that moment, was pointing to the zenith. I was hopeful of aurora that night and imagined them dancing behind the big dish of the ARO. I set up to capture a night-long time-lapse of the night sky but as it turned out, it was mostly cloudy, and the aurora were very faint. I did compile the frames into a video, but I found a selection of frames around 3:00am that were cloudless, so I created this star trails image with Photoshop.
