Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photo showing star trails in this photo contest. To capture a successful image of star trails, many aspects must be taken into consideration: No city lights to avoid ambient light making star light less visible, a non obstructive foreground that helps the star moving effect, the right time and avoid cloudy nights. Be sure to get some ideas by browsing the amazing shots entered into this competition.

We are very grateful for all of those that helped us find the People's Choice by voting for their favorite images!
