Description

Another take on the star twinkle process. This time arranged in a grid. I think they look rather like little sweets, hence the title.

When the light from a star passes through our atmosphere it is diffracted into many colours. This is what we see as twinkling. Some stars produce very different colours to others, based upon the wavelengths of light emitting from the star. Here we see a collage of stills taken out of focus to enhance the colours, from the star Capella.

The 441 stills were extracted from an 8 minute video which was graded on quality.

Sony a6000, 350mm @ f/6.3, ISO 1000

Video set to capture at 1/5th second.

Description: I realised that Pipp was extracting the images at 60 FPS whereas I shot at 5 FPS. That led to duplicate frames. I've reprocessed to drop the duplicates and the result looks nicer IMO.
