Re: Big or little Dipper

Good point & very interesting. I didn't know about that.


How long must the exposure be before the rotation of the earth causes the stars to begin leaving a trail (assuming equipment to prevent this was not being used). All the stars in the original photo seem to be still points of light with no tails?
