Harperrig Startrails

Clear night last night!!! Sadly nearly a full moon so not quite the gold standard for startrails, but nice to get a clear night. Met up with grant_r, and got somne good results. Sadly couldnt compose this with the polestar in it, but you do get a sense of the level of light pollution from Edinburgh - looks like daylight in the photo. Also met a couple of dudes as I was heading home with giant telescopes and they let me have a look at Jupiter, and a nebula in orion. Pretty fascinating stuff - saw the bands on jupiter and 4 of the moons.

 

Lots of light kicking around, so this is 48 shots of 1 minute each blended in starstax. Exif below for the individual shots:
