October in Florida marks the beginning of "Star Trail Season" as I like to call it. During the cooler months, the air is clearer and there are generally fewer clouds in the sky at night. Looking up into the night sky is always amazing, but to me it's even more amazing when you can use photography see it in a reality that spans more than just one moment. I made this image early on the morning of October 24, 2012 in my backyard over an almost 6-hour period, looking toward Polaris in the north as the Waxing Gibbous moon was setting in the west.
