20140728_F0001: Star-trails above the Buquoy Chateau in Nove Hrady

            - This is the same Buquoy Chateau in Nove Hrady also featured in few previous photos I posted. The chateau has over three hundred years of history and was the residence of various members of the Buquoy aristocratic family. It's now operated by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic as a research centre. This is a star-trails shot where the centre of the shot forms a straight line representing the plane perpendicular to the Earth rotational axis. Here, above the line (visible in the sky but not in this photo) is the north pole of the rotational axis and below (below the horizon and not visible since this is taken on the norther hemisphere) is the south pole.
