The differing angles and directions of stellar/planetary bodies trails
This one was taken of a Stellar/Planetary body located in south-east direction
This one was taken of two Stellar/Planetary bodies located in west direction.
I have a feeling these movements/trails are witnessed courtesy earths rotation on its axis. Surely that would also go well with the direction of trail considering their relative position against the tilted earth rotation. By this logic, the distance of travel should be uniform across these bodies. While the last pic gives illusion of two different length, I measured them on them using scale on screen. They have same length.
Now this is tempting me to take photos with 30 second exposure of all planetary bodies I can possibly locate in the sky (or at least 10/15 samples). The best would have been having such a telescopic camera with wide-angle lenses that could capture the 120-180 degree spectrum of sky capturing movement of all planetary bodies in one go.
Dear ISRO/NASA, You should definitely upgrade your telescopes. I wholeheartedly support that cause. I suppose you would be putting out your old telescope out of business then. Please send it across to 6/42, Nandina Apt, Bandra Reclamation. Or just mention Peeyush Chomal to any courier guy. By now, all of them know my house address :P
