Start Trails Attempt My First Attempt

 

Camera: GoPro Hero 4 Silver

Mode:Night Lapse(This is because it takes individual photos rater then compiling it straight into a video.)

• Shutter: Auto 
• Interval: 30 Seconds
• Megapixels: 12MP / Wide
• Spot Meter: ON/OFF
• Protune: ON/OFF

Direction: Bottom of the frame is pointing Westish

With the weather predictably bad in Melbourne, Australia the camera is housed inside a waterproof case with a power pass-through. This way the camera can operate without a battery hardwired into the mains.

The next morning the GoPro Hero 4 Silver has produced 1,379 individual images.

30 seconds x 1,379 = Around 11.5 hours.

Now I need a section of images where the sky is clear and where there are no clouds.

Rather scroll through the pictures it was decide to compile it into a video.

This way it will be easy to see which sections will be useful via a 45 second video.

Then look over the video and note down sections of the capture where the sky was cloud free.

Next the selection of reasonably cloud free images were loaded into an application Star Stacks

The End Result
