First Star Trail Attempt

[NovaTJ]

Thanks to Celestron for helping me set up the shot. 18mm, F3.5, ISO 800, 26 two minute exposures controlled by laptop using Canon EOS software and a 40D. I lost another 15 shots due to dew on the lens, so there are some broken lines. I see at least one meteor trail. C&C welcomed. Stacked with Startrails.de.

You did well Greg ! Too bad about the missing shots . Did you ever get anything to help reduce the dew ?

For the scope? Not yet, still saving pennies. This shot was just the camera and lens mounted on a tripod with a simple pedal type sun shield.
I have an inexpensive 12volt hair dryer I thought about using, but didn't.
My next time I will be better prepared.:oops:
