The Star 3 Controller from Clear Light.  Able to control from 3 to 15 projectors for presentations.  This is a five image composite on one piece of film.  The base Unit on a black background, flash main exposure and a several second shutter drag to pull up the lights.  Then a projector shot in three different positions/rotations, again flash main and shutter drag for the lamp.  Then a final exposure of the star field...a black paper with pin holes in it and using a star filter over the lens.  This shot took probably 2-3 hours to shoot, again on one piece of film.  Any mistake throughout the process means starting over.  Of course, there was probably two days of prep/testing to get all the exposures right before doing the final shot.  This image received a Merit Award from PPA (Professional Photographers of America) AND was selected to be in the 1981 PPA Traveling Loan Collection.
