This video is a response to Flat Earth Aussie Jesus who wants to see circular star trails simulated using a camera attached to a globe.Well challenge completed. I had to use lights that were more than 100 feet away to simulate far away stars and minimize parallax. In space there is no up or down as it is all relative. So the poles and camera were aimed at the relatively distant light source. The timelapse photos were slightly shaky due to hand spinning the globe on the pole but the concentric circles were there.
