East to west star trails is a type of astrophotography that captures the apparent movement of stars across the night sky from east to west. This movement is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, it causes the stars to appear to move in a circular or curved path in the sky, with the center of rotation being the celestial pole.
(p.s.- Straight line with red blinks are a flyby flight)
