12mm f/2 @ f/2.8, 30×30s combined in StarStax

The source of the light dome was 150 million kilometres away, this was the darkest 15 minutes of the summer solstice, hence the blue sky. The wall was built exactly 1900 years ago, the sycamore is nowhere near that old. I was really annoyed by those lads coming dien the hill with their bright torch.

Cool! I think that flashlight adds a little something extra. 

How much that sort of lens cost 2nd hand?

I tried doing a very basic star trail at home (I've done it once or twice before) with my 7D and kit lens last night; the battery was basically empty. I managed to get about 3 secs from bulb before the camera turned off.

If it's another clear night tonight I'll try again.
