Artist's Description
Many people are astonished that it is possible to capture the Milky Way from a fast moving airplane without star trails. What they are not aware of, is the fact that the speed of the aircraft (linear motion) is irrelevant, due to the huge distance of the stars. Not even the much faster velocity of earth moving through space has an impact.
It is earth rotation (angular motion) that causes star trails. When flying westward, star trailing is even reduced by roughly 50%, as it has the same effect as tracking the stars at half speed.
On the other hand, most people are well aware that camera shake destroys any astrophotography. Unfortunately my 300'000 kg flying camera mount is very prone to turbulence and aerodynamic oscillations. It therefore does not happen very often that I am able to capture a sequence that allows stacking. Luckily there is an exception from time to time: Thanks to a really smooth ride during this flight over Norh Africa, I was able to stack 10 exposu...
About Ralf Rohner
As a landscape photographer and pilot I have the privilege to travel the world and visit some of the most beautiful places on our planet. I started photography as an astro-photographer, which still shows in my passion for nightscapes. While not exclusively shooting at night, a big part of my work shows the beauty of the starry night skies in combination with some iconic landscapes. Thanks for visiting my gallery.
