I played with the stars over Acadia National Park not knowing what the results would be. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised. Our rented cottage in the small village of Bernard, Maine is by the water in an area called Duck Cove.
Light pollution is virtually nil at night so it’s a good environment not only to view stars but to photograph them. I’m mostly a video guy.
GoPro is my camera of choice because it’s so easy to travel with compared to a DSLR camera. I fixed my GoPro to a tripod in star trail mode, focused the lenses on the night sky, which was clear but with a crescent moon off to the east providing a faint backlight.
The camera rolled for about 90-minutes, about the life of the battery. An external battery would have added considerable time. I’ll remember that for my next attempts. The video below is short as a result, but I like it. Let me know what you think!
