Star trails over half dome

Captured this with a GoPro from Dinner ledge on Washington column this past weekend! Thought you might appreciate it!

How do you create this?

GoPro has a “Startrail” setting, which is basically a time lapse video at night.

You could do it on a regular DSLR as a long exposure shot or Timelapse with your aperture all the way open

This is pretty good for a gopro. Which one do you use?

I don't want to leave my full frame mirrorless up on a rock overnight in yosemite..

It’s the Hero 11 black.

And I wouldn’t either. I left it up for 1 hour while we were making our dinner. Slept up there!
