The sky, documented over twenty four hours

After wondering for some time whether it was possible to image the sky from one morning to the next where I live in Athens Greece, I decided to give it a try. After hours of planning and preparation, and a full day of shooting, the image above is the result of this labor of love. It took me about 12 hours to pull together and process a single image that included over 500 star trails, 35 shots of the Sun and 25 landscape pictures.

For a full account of Chris Kotsiopoulos’ preparations to take this twenty four hour view of the sky, check out his description on Earth Science Picture of the Day.
