Diurnal rotation at 7 degrees north

Post by universe24 »

It been quite a long time I didn't post anything here...

I shoot this in Sabah, Malaysia with latitude of 7 degrees north.
It is rare and quite hard for us in Malaysia to see the Polaris as the horizon always got clouds.

I am quite lucky to see the Polaris all night long during my trip to Sabah, Malaysia.

Note also that the Polaris also got trail after 3 hours of exposure as it is 41' off from north celestial pole.
