Here is OG picture

Bump pls help

Here take a bump OP

Fugggg

I believe that's in Benis, Iran

Argentina pls

Can't you use the stars direction and composition to tell where it is in the world?

Do your own homework man.

I don't know what this means reeeeee

Oh mate that pic. It was taken in downtown Newcastle.

looks like the Keck Observatory in Hawaii

I think it's facing west can someone confirm

>stars are comparatively straight in what appears to be a long exposure shot
>horizon is visible
I want to say it's somewhere south of the equator, with the camera looking northeast, but I don't know

Are you memeing?

Someone confirm this. You sound like you know what you're doing

>Facing north by north west.
>Westford, MA
>Haystack Observatory featured in picture

It's home to the world's largest and most scientifically productive telescopes. Plenty of crazy space pics are taken there.

You might be right

Sorry, replied to my own post.
is meant for

Looked it up but can't find this picture. Are you sure about the direction?

Triangluar structure in the picture is the Millstone hill radar. Little dipper is on the right side of the picture. If north is to the right, you are facing west.

Do you know because of science, or do you just recognize the pic

based on the angle of the stars, it either has to be somewhere high above the equator facing west, or somewhere low below the equator facing east, based on how the Earth moves and the starfield appears to move over a long time.

If an image was taken directly on the equator, the starlines would be straight up and down, where as if they were on a pole, they would be straight horizontal.

The starlines in OP's image are at about 40 degrees, so I don't think it's Haystack, which is a lot farther north and would have starlines going a bit more horizontal.

Its just a camera with a slow shutter speed pointed at the stars for an extended period of time.

>some faggot user asks for help with his homework

So it's probably north of the equator though right? Facing west?

Either that, or south facing east.

I think the photo is taking more or less due east/west since there is very little curvature of the starlines.

You could probably deduce exactly where the photo was taken from by comparing the starlines to a star planetarium but I'm not that autistic.

Ahhh, Sup Forums. When all else fails just ask the national socialists. They always have a solution to your question

That is the correct answer the red trail are the cars from the first picture, and the position of the camera is the right side of OPs 2nd picture facing inward.

Never even saw a pic of the place until now, I just remembered hearing about an observatory in Hawaii that had a view of the stars that allowed for some cool celestial sights.
Didn't even know it was called the Keck Observatory, funny lil coincidence.

OP here. Thanks so much guys, gonna go with this answer

Sorry for being smart.

>name is keck
Not just a random coincidence friend

...

OP here again. How are the star trails straighter because it's close to the equator? As in, if I were further north/south of the equator the star trails would have more curvature

because the athmosphere is thinner

gtfo larper

missed by point there friendo

It really depends on where you look.

Look east/west from anywhere in the world, and the stars closest to the center of your vision will appear to travel straight.

If you're on the equator and you look due north/south, the stars will appear to spin around a point (same as if you look straight up on a pole)

What?

No, my ip is just changing bc I'm in a different building rn

So why are they so straight? Pls no bully

Because the camera is facing due east/west.

If you look at the corners you can see those are curving ever so slightly.

Ohhhh I get it fuck. Thanks based astro user

>implying national socialist don't solve a lot of shit

user, I don't even ...
