How to Photograph Star Trails? Taking a Great Shot Choose an exposure method. There are two methods for taking photographs of star trails. You can take one photo or a series of photos. There are pros and cons to each of the following approaches: Take one long exposure shot. In this case, you would use a very long exposure time (sometimes several hours), which would introduce a lot of noise into the picture. The upside is that you would have one single picture of star trails throughout the night. Take a serious of short exposure shots. You can take many shots (sometimes hundreds) over the course of the night and use a program to “stack” the shots. This reduces noise, but requires you to combine hundreds of shots to form on picture of star trails.
