My first ever attempt at star trails saw me heading down to a local tree - down by the Ouse - which I've photographed a few times before. With York to the north and the moon creeping southwards I only had about a 60 minute window to get set up, learn how to do it, and get the shots needed before having to give up for the night.
Fortunately, everything went quite smoothly...
This is 45 minutes worth of exposures, 20s each at f4, 3200ISO.
In these dark times where reason is (almost) totally lost and we are more and more supinely commanded by dictatorial governments (especially here in Italy!), with continuous new impositions that generate phobia, deaths, psychological and educational discomforts, suicides and poverty, social hardships of all kinds, and when we are even no longer allowed to breathe freely outside, it is good to never lose the healthy habit of observing the cosmos... “useless activity” one can say, probably yes, probably no, I certainly do not wish to have the last word on the sacred relationship that each of us has with the infinite, the inscrutable, the Mystery, which has always surrounded the human being.
Fact that the more I observe the cosmos, at night, in the mountains, the more I understand it is useless to be afraid, much less angry. This terror, so professionally instilled up by cheap people, because they cannot see beyond their own squalid power interests, does not deserve any consideration. The beauty of the cosmos will remain, those people will pass. “Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.” Mahatma Gandhi.
If compared to the previous shot this photograph shows more in detail the Dents d'Ambin (3.372 m).
Clearly present in the sky the trails of light left by the stars due to the Earth's rotation during the long exposure.
The brightest band near the Dents summits is caused by the Milky Way.

Got up stupendously early yesterday morning to get to Glastonbury for some night images. The wind up here was absolutely freezing, it was a massive relief to get down again after an hour or two at the top!
This is about 140 30 second exposures blended manually in photoshop. I've given up on single image startrails here as the light pollution is just too strong.
5dmkii, 28mm f.2 zeiss, 30 secs @ f4.5 iso 400 x 140
3hrs of startrails captured at home on the patio between 11.23pm and 2.30am 15th/16th August. Clear sky for most of the night. 400 images (actually had 742 but that makes for an over the top spin!) taken at ISO 1600, f4, 10mm 25 secs with a 3 sec gap. Stacked in Starstax comet mode gap filling and processed in CS5. Canon 700D 10-22mm lens. Camera really needs a service as there are quite a few hot and cold pixels now.
Lots of satellites in there and 1 iridum, a few planes – most are evened out through stacking. Moonrise is also beginning behind the barn on the right
Since all the EXIF data got killed by StarStax:
Canon EOS 7D
Tokina 11-16 at 11mm
f/3.2
30s per frame
128 pictures ... then my camera gave up :-)
One extra shot to improve the foreground.
60-minute startrail, started exactly as the clocks changed to BST overnight Saturday.

The first clear night in ages coincided with an almost full moon so milky way shots were out of the question. I therefore decided to do some star trails having had my eye on this composition for a while.
Press L and then F11 for a large view - then you can fully enjoy this picture!
Thank you so much for your views, faves and comments !

A busy night in the North Wales Mountains, a brief bit of clear sky in between the clouds, around 70 images.
This is a stack of 289 exposures that were 40 seconds each: a bit over 3 hours worth in total. Stacked in Photoshop with some final edits in Lightroom.
