Circular Star Trails-Can I shoot beautiful star trails by selecting the opposite rotation direction?

Yes, you can! For example, if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, you can select the S mode (Southern Hemisphere) on your tracker, it will reverse the rotation direction, allowing you to shoot star trails with the opposite rotation. This will give you beautiful, circular star trails that appear to rotate in the opposite direction.
The same applies if you're in the Southern Hemisphere and select the N mode (Northern Hemisphere) to achieve the same effect.
