This is a tutorial to create the vortex / spiral star trail effect without building a slow zoom machine. You still need to go out and photograph stars for about 3 hours to get enough images to create the spiral. Make sure you are aiming at the north star for the best results. Thanks for viewing! Any questions, feel free to ask!
