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?

Another corher there Dave, well done! We had a couple of clear nights and I took a couple of shots and made hash of it (focus problems...mine I might add not the camera!). Raining again here
Keep up the good work!
