One of the most common questions on this issue is whether the free software Startrails for Windows existed for MAC. The answer has always been not, but thanks to Jose Ruben Motilla has fallen into my hands a Action Photoshop MAC that can do it easily and produce images like the one shown below.
Here you have this video I suggest you see a Full Screen which is easily explained. The first thing you have to do is download and install the Photoshop Action. After, follow the instructions of the video.
Download Action MAC STARTRAILS courtesy Chris Schur by ASTROPIX
There is also FIRST PROGRAM DEVELOPED FOR MAC is not a Photoshop Action. The creator has been Markux Enzweiler and you can download it www.starstax.net
Here you can also see a video tutorial HD performance. (view full screen)
I hope it will be useful.

Depends on the situation. There is no standardized.
Thanks a million!!!!!
Hello everyone, It's my first appearance here. I wanted to ask if there are any problems with the action of photoshop as I can not download.
Maybe me and my lack of knowledge.
Thanks in advance for help vtra.
Teresa, the download works correctly.
Try again on where it says Mac Startrails.
Regards.
A wonder of the action videotutorial, very very useful, thanks for sharing the technique. Only one doubt me, jpg do in these types of photos always working speed? Or is it better from a raw and batch processing for example to pass all jpg and then we put them together?.
Regards
A consumer taste Roberto. You can do it in jpg or, as you said, do it in RAW, and implement a process to a batch processing.
What is clear is that both action and jpgs only accept applications.
Regards.
Hello Mario. Do you know if there is aplcación or similar for the poor like me who can not buy a Mac and walk with Windows?

Brilliant. Thank you very much and best regards.
You know if I can get off the application for ipad2.
Thanks.
Hello Jose Angel. The app is not, of time, iPad.

Hello Mario, I wish you a preguntilla on configuring the intervalometer to take a photograph of this type of photos, I guess that puts you in command of exposure time previously calculated, the number of photos and the time between the two, which should be zero is not it? Thanks in advance
Heavy Sorry but I forgot to mention that the command is a Godox (should be a yongnuo… but have been confused, although like the first) and has the options: self-timer, interval timer, long exposures, exposure count. If I want to take 30 photos, the 40 sg and no time between them… Would While this?:
Self-timer 5 (for the photos made after that time and avoid a possible shake, although this could be omitted).
Interval timer (0 the 1) Here I have no doubt. So this can also omit.
Long exposures: 40 sg (and the camera in bulb mode I guess)
Exposure count: 30.
Thanks again and sorry Mario Chestnut.
No need to leave time between shots. It is likely that you're going to put him to have zero seconds between shots and command forces you to quit in a. No problem. Noise reduction off the camera.
No more mystery.
Try this at home with short exposure times to see what the camera does what you want me to do.
Regards.
Thanks Maria, try it at home and say.
