Metal Print #5: Polaris: Perfect Imperfection

🌌 Metal Print #5: Polaris Perfect Imperfection

Imaging "Polaris: Perfect Imperfection"

If you stare at the northern night sky long enough, the whole sky appears to turn counter-clockwise around a single star known as Polaris, aka the North Star. This star has been used for navigation for thousands of years because it sits above Earth's North Pole.

But if you look at the center of the concentric star-trails created after stacking over 1,000 pictures into 1 image, the bright star isn't exactly at the center. Although it is slightly off-center, it's the brightest and the closest star to the exact Celestial North Pole. Its imperfection has been insignificant to its purpose for several generations and I think that's beautiful.

I took 3 trips to the UC San Diego campus in March 2021. Each trip involved long hours of practicing to capture star trails with the Geisel Library in the foreground. Luckily because of the Covid lockdown, the campus was dark, still and peaceful. A perfect night for Finding Light in the Dark.
