Venus and Crescent Moon set timelapse with a busy Sky!

On 03/02/2025 08:45 pm by Adeel Shafiq | Website | Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan

Last night planet Venus and crescent moon were in close conjunction and I decided to capture a timelapse by taking a series of images in succession and to my astonishment not only was I able to capture star trails but also caught a couple of satellite trails (white lines) a few degrees over the horizon. This shows how amazing the sky has been from the last couple of days in Lahore. I was also able to capture a couple of aeroplane trails in my images and later on stacking all the images together rendered a display of Earth's rotation (star trails) with the moon and Venus as the brightest objects sinking downwards towards the western horizon.

Canon EOS 1300D
Canon EF 1.8 50mm lens

849 images of ISO 400, f/5.6, 4 seconds exposure with a gap of 1 second between each image taken in succession over a period of 70 minutes.
All images processed and exported from LR and then stacked in Star stax software. Final processing done in PS it's 23.
