Alnwick startrail (explored)
First attempt at a startrail, im pleased with it for a first go, but the starstax software lightened the foreground so much the final image had horrendous noise, so i had to select the tree and foreground in PS with a luminosity mask then use a strong curves layer to darken it back down . So a bit more processing than i would of liked. 130 images stacked in starstax, using a samyang 14mm f2.8 (please view full size)
