   Summary Authors:  Gianni Tumino;  Jim Foster

   The photo above shows the  trails of stars along the  celestial
   equator as observed from Punta Cirica (Sicily) Italy, on March 2, 2022.
   Each curvilinear streak is the path of a star. Notice that the stars on
   either side of the celestial equator, which runs from top left to
   bottom right, have trails that begin to curve (due to the  Earth's
   rotation) in the direction of their respective  celestial poles, the
   north pole at right, and the south pole at left.

   Photo details: Canon EOS camera; 14 mm lens; f/1.8; f/3.2; N°160; 12
   second exposure; ISO 3200. Software: Sequator; Lightroom; Photoshop.
