Description:

It has been my dream to take star trail with the snowy mountains. It truly seems like the trekkers are going to the stars with their lights on. And in the hyperbolic star trail, you can see the middle line where the trails are neither curved upward or downward. This line is called the astronomical equator. It is an imaginary line in the celestial sphere that is directly above Earth's equator. It is used as a reference point for measuring celestial coordinates. It is an essential reference for astronomers and is used to define celestial coordinates such as right ascension (analogous to longitude) and declination (analogous to latitude). These coordinates help locate and track celestial objects, including stars, planets, and other astronomical phenomena, with respect to the celestial sphere.
