Looks like it takes a pre-shot that looks at the star trails to

needed tracking, and then exposes with tracking on.

You can’t take GPS out of the equation because the built-in inclinometers
(at the same angle) will be looking at a different part of the sky -
depending upon your latitude.

I've been looking for a decent lens like this in Leica M-mount and saw that 
Voigtländer had relatively recently recomputed the Color-Skopar 21mm f/4 to a 
new f/3.5 version, supposedly optimizing it for the digital sensor. So I got 
one to work with and carried it yesterday...

Here's a link to 17 photos made with it on my walk yesterday.

Yes, I think it's a keeper. :)

Good to see a harbinger of Spring.  Snowing here today so no daffies or 
crocus visible.

It must be a great lens, judging by those images!

I especially like "Tree in Barren Yard."  The tree itself is remarkable,
and the setting and composition make for a very effective image.

variations on the theme.

Enjoy the new gallery here:
