Is possible to get a long exposure of stars without leaving any trails?

Question: Is possible to get a long exposure of stars without leaving any trails!?

Are there ways to have a camera trace the path of a few stars so you don't get trails in a long exposure shot!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

There are some telescopes that have motors that track with the earth's rotation to allow for long exposure photography or observation!. You could shop for a tripod and fit it for this kind of motor, if you can find one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You will need a telescope with an equatorial mount or an equatorial mount that you can mount on your tripod and then mount your camera to!.

Check for any local astronomy clubs in your area!. They should be able to help you find what you need!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes contact nasa, or a simalar agency - the point of very long exposures for star shots is to show the trails, whats wrong with a 4-30 second exposure thats not long enough to show trails

Yes, the gentlement are both correct and you are talking about a star tracker - google 'astronomy' and 'star tracker' or contact a university physics department!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
