Ghost at the Machine with star trails.

Unguided photo taken with a Hasselblad 503CW camera mounted on a tripod with a Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 C T* lens at f/5.6 using Fuji Provia 400F film with an exposure of one hour begun at 12:06 AM on April 9, 2005 in Ellenville, NY. I set up the tripod pretty low on this shot to silhouette more of the telescope against the sky. This star trails picture was taken with my telescope in the foreground. The ghost looking into the eyepiece is me. The red glow is from my red flashlight and from a laptop computer not visible in the image. That is another Hasselblad mounted on my telescope. Those with good eyes could tell that I changed the lens on it during the middle of this exposure.
