Mastering Star Trails: Capture and Edit Using Two Unique Methods
Welcome to this KZread tutorial where I'll explore two fantastic techniques for capturing mesmerizing star trails. We'll dive into the advantages and drawbacks of both the single-image and multi-image approaches for shooting star trails. Plus, I'll reveal the optimal settings to use and guide you through the post-processing steps for each method.

I love the star reflections in your shots, I only managed to get this couple of times when shooting over a pool 🤦♀️ so not very exciting. I love the studio set up!

Great :) glad you like it. Star reflections are not easy to get. You need it to be completely still
Enjoyed your tutorial. If you are not going to use your multiple images for a Timelapse, why not shoot your images for 4 minutes with a lower ISO ? Would have less noise and fewer images to send over to Ps ? What would be the downside?

Yes you can do that. Only downside is you can’t do long exposure noise reduction. At 4 minutes you might start to get a few hot pixels. 2 minute windows you should be fine :)
Thanks for this Kyle, nice shots! With the multiple image method, is there any reason not to average/stack some or all of the individual frames to get a cleaner foreground and blend the stacked star trails into that, to get a cleaner foreground similar to shooting at a lower ISO?

Yes you can do that, it was common to do that more often a few years ago with older dslr cameras. But with the new improved quality of mirrorless camera sensors and especially the denoise and sharpening with AI, I honestly find I can get away with not stacking most of the time. I also personally feel the quality from shooting at low iso is better than stacking images at a high iso. Especially if the iso is below the invariance point of iso 800
