Making star trails
Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet shows how to demonstrate star trails in a classroom environment using a ‘lazy susan’ spinning table and video editing software. Included is an online video showing the setup of the demonstration. Due to the tools involved this would only be suitable as a teacher led demonstration. A full list of required materials and instructions on processing the recorded video is included.
