The location of the north star in its orientation to the Park Avenue view.Editing
Yes, considerable noise reduction due to the long 30 minute exposure. in addition, extensive hot pixel reduction by erasing each hot pixel one at a time in Photoshop.In my camera bag
Canon 6D, Fesol tripod, Arcatech head, Canon 24 - 70 f2.8 lense, Canon 70 - 200 f4.0 lense, Canon 17 - 40 lense, Sigma 14mm lense, neutral density filters.Feedback
I have seen a time lapse version with several 20 second exposures layered as a composite for the same star trail affect. The benefit being that the noise was significantly less.
