This was probably my least impressive star trail to date. I was at my sister-in-law’s house in Lansing, NY and I opened the shutter for the night and left it till morning. I knew the battery was low which is why the shutter was only open for 68 minutes. I obviously didn’t want the shutter to be open at sunrise. While that tactic worked out, I did not expect the cloud cover to roll in immediately after I started the photo – ruining the shot. This taught me to be weather aware when filming.
