    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a system for enabling an imaging device to perform controlled long-exposure imaging of a celestial object based on the system interrelating an exposure time with a level of object trailing and outputting a result of said interrelating. The interrelating is based on the system estimating an apparent velocity of the celestial object on an imaging sensor of the imaging device. Advantageously, the apparent velocity is accurately and efficiently estimated using the angle of view of the imaging device and the angular velocity of the earth. In addition, latitude data is used to adjust for a relative position of the imaging device to the celestial equator. Compared to the so-termed rule of 500/550/600, the system provides better results in that the long-exposure imaging of a celestial object can be more accurately controlled based on the system's output.
