This saturday night was the first night we've had clear skies over the weekend since my last attempt at capturing star trails. Although it was warmer than last time I was out for about an hour and a quarter it was still very cold. Armed with my tripod, remote shutter release cable, camera and camping chair I ventured out into the fields near my house and set up looking pretty much due north towards the A34. I took 184 images over about an hour, this time I also took a dark frame reference pic to try to minimise noise from the camera's CCD. I think I should have bumped up the ISO as I took the pics on ISO200 rather that ISO400, so the image is lacking foreground detail and did not pic up as many stars as I had hoped. Still, the increased number of pics makes the trails much more prominent. As well as the composite image below, I also compiled the images into a star trails movie clip. Just waiting for the next clear night  | ||||||

Having seen the recent BBC Stargazing programmes I though it was aabout time I had a crack at astrophotography. Armed with my trusty FujiFilm S7000, new tripod and cable release I went to Cheesefoot Head near Winchester and took 32 x 15sec exposure pics over ten minutes. Back home I ran these through a free app called Startrails and got the following pic, not bad for a first attempt. Would love to do one over an hour or two

My housemate, Nicky, treated me to a surprise trip to Paris for my 40th birthday. We managed to squeeze in a lot of sight seeing, but sill only saw a small percentage of what Paris has to offer.
