On a GoPro action camera, "Star Trails" is a specialized Night Lapse mode that captures the movement of stars across the sky, creating a visually stunning effect where the stars appear as streaks or trails. This effect occurs because the camera takes multiple long-exposure photos over time, and the Earth's rotation makes the stars appear to move in circular paths.
The GoPro compiles these images into a time-lapse video, showcasing the motion of the stars, often creating concentric circles centered around the North or South Pole in the sky. This mode is perfect for astrophotography enthusiasts who want to capture the beauty of the night sky in motion.
Key points for using Star Trails on a GoPro:
- **Stability**: Ensure the camera is mounted on a tripod or stable surface.
- **Dark Sky**: Best results are achieved in areas with minimal light pollution.
- **Patience**: The longer the recording, the more pronounced the star trails will be.
