Review & Description

The AstroTrac opens up a whole new area of photography. Now your camera can reveal the heavens in a way which isn't possible with the naked eye. What does it do? Most objects in the night sky are very dim, so photographing them requires long exposures, normally between 1 and 5 minutes. Standing on Earth, it appears that we are stationary and the sky is rotating. During an exposure of several minutes, this movement will show up as star trails in photographs. The AstroTrac follows the movement of the sky with great accuracy eliminating star trails and ensuring sharp images with pinpoint' stars. How does it work? Using an AstroTrac couldn't be easier. Setup takes just a few minutes using standard photo kit. Point your camera at the target in the sky, make sure it is properly focused and start the exposure. A few minutes later, end the exposure and enjoy the fantastic images on the back of your camera!
