60 seconds Startrails

Lights from ... the stars

Surprisingly, this long exposure picture of the stars showing the Earth's rotation is not a stacked image made of several frames. Actually, it is just a single shot of 60 seconds captured thanks to an equatorial mount but motorized.
In fact, since the sky was not likely to be clear the whole night, I had decided to cheat by installing my camera on my tracking mount. Then, I turned on the motor while taking the frame, and here is the result! Nice tip, isn't it?
