Castle Hill star trails

Went to Castle Hill last night looking for some Milky Way pics, I was particularly interested in doing a timelapse to record the star trails. And boom! This is what I was hoping for. Anything goes with night sky photography, hence this is a composite. First I took the foreground 240 sec exposure, f/5.0, ISO 3200. Next I took a timelapse of 240 images, 30 sec exposure,, f/2.8, ISO 1000. I only used the first hour worth of images as the full two hours became too busy. Denoised in DxO PhotoLab 6.5. Star trails stacked using Sequator. Finally composited with the foreground using Affinity Photo.
