I think I don't know why you haven't gotten more responses on this shot - I think it is very good! For me what makes a good star trail shot is not usually the stars but the foreground. A good foreground subject puts it all in context and makes it a much more effective shot. I have tried some star trails but never have gotten the foreground part of the image to come out the way I wanted.

Did you expose the foreground separately in this image?

The gaps in the star trails are as you say to be expected, although I have seen some multi-shot images where they are not present. I think there are some blending techniques in Photoshop or other software that allows you to blend them out somehow.

Anyway, a very good effort, thanks for sharing!
