beautiful trails

Stu shared a link to his star trails "practice" shot. Wow.

George Lake near Killarney. Dark, dark skies, similar to Manitoulin Island.

I asked for details...

Each image was 30 secs, ISO 400. He stuck them in Startrails.exe or StarStaX.exe (one gave a much smaller file size than the other). No bugs. Summer temperatures. SQM for 3 nights were 21.9, 21.8, 21.9. "I don't know what to make of those horizontal streaks." The stock 18-55 lens!

I downloaded the image and set it as my wallpaper.
