Quest for Cosmos
Hyperbolic star trails, a creative and artistic photography technique, involve capturing star trails that take on a hyperbolic shape due to the movement of the camera or lens during exposure. By introducing controlled camera motion, photographers can produce visually striking and unconventional star trail patterns that deviate from the traditional circular or arc-like trails. This technique adds a dynamic and abstract element to astrophotography, allowing for a blend of science and artistic expression in capturing the motion of celestial bodies.
