   Dear Lewis:

   May I use the picture “4968721966_705d9d53aa_o.jpg” on my poster designing? It’s for school activities and non-profit with it in Taiwan. I will quote the name. I’ll use it only if I get the authorization.

   Best Regard

   Yang

   Your night photography is impressive. I have worked on star trails myself and i have been having a blast. I was wondering how you took the images of the night sky that do not show trails. They are light and have great balance without long exposures. Do you have any tips or tricks?
   I benefit from seeing the metadata of some of the images if you dont mind providing it. Its gives me a baseline to start some of my images.

   Your images are beautiful and i hope to emulate some of them if i can.

   Thanks again,

   Joel

     Hi Joel,

     the images without star trails are done in one of two ways; using a lot of shorter exposures and then stacking them in DeepSkyStacker or using a motorised mount that tracks the stars allowing exposures of 5-10 minutes without trails.
