Startrails Photo - BWCA - 1998 I was solo camping in the BWCA and took this image from 11:30pm to 12:30am, a 1-hour time exposure. I centered the lens on the North Star, Polaris, so the Earth's motion dragged the images of the other stars in a near-perfect circle around it. Note the different color spectrums of the stars. Also note that Polaris is not really exactly north...it is off center from the perfect center. But still pretty close. POSTED: November 8, 2005
