My first attempt at star trails. Goal was just to get my scope and computer tent (bottom left) and the South Celestial Pole. Focus and exposure was a bit of a guess after a bit of a chat with one of the other guys there. Very happy with the way it turned out. This was as many exposures as I got before dew set in. Next time might try a dew heater for my lens.

Also having a play with a quick timelapse, but not sure how that'll turn out.
