Re: Photographing star trails

Had another go last night and here's the result...



Thought I'd try an upright one. Another church in the foreground - I really wanted the Bromley war memorial with Armistice Day fast approaching but it's way too brightly floodlit and I couldn't expose for the memorial and the stars. I'd have to do a combination of star trails and HDR and I haven't got to grips with HDR yet. Something for the future...

This was going to be another combination of 200 shots but in frame 154 the clouds started coming in and by frame 160 it was raining! So I cut my losses and just used frames 1 to 153. There were a few aeroplane trails to clone out but nothing like as many as the Farnborough shot.

Anyone else had a go yet?
