Use the software Startrails to stack 70 consecutive photos into a star trail. There is a 5 second interval between each photo.
This is a 6-minute trail of the crescent Venus, from 5:54:28 PM to 6:00:13 PM. Today, only 11.8% of Venus is illuminated, with an apparent diameter of 48.4 arcseconds, making it appear like a tiny moon through the long lens. Watching this little "moon" slowly move southwest within the frame is truly adorable. The video of Venus setting can be found at this link: https://youtu.be/oRr9gvUsaSQ.
