First star trails stacking: Over a Buddhist temple in South Korea

Hi guys, so I've finally gotten through processing the image. This is the first time I've ever stacked star trails (in fact, the first time I've ever done a stack of any sort).

Here, you can see both the northern and southern hemispheres of the night sky as well as the Celestial Equator. It's roughly 280 exposures, for a total time of 2.5 hours. In total, I was on top of a cold, dark mountaintop for 3 hours alone, drove 2 hours there and back, hiked up and down the mountain, and spent about an hour processing...the most effort I've ever put into a single shot, but I'm very happy with the outcome...hope you like it too:

Very nice Tamas ! I was in S. Korea in the service 73'-74 . Where about is this image located ? I was at Camp Page in ChunChon which is now been turned over to the city and no longer a Missle base .

Thanks very much!!

Wow...what was Korea like back then? After all the change Korea has gone through in the 80s/90s I think you'd have a hard time recognizing most places!

This temple is near Uiryeong in Gyeongsang (or Gyeongsangnam) province.

If you go to maps.google.com and plug this in: 35.431792,128.238988 it'll get you the temple's exact location! I just noticed that there's a sizeable lake just beyond the temple, I think I'm going to head there this weekend and see what it's like!

Ok , I see where it's located way down south which is good ! Tha keeps you away from the DMZ line . ChunCheon is located about 30 miles south of the DMZ line in the Gangwon region . It's about 60-70 miles east of Seoul . Looking on the map it looks like it's the last stop on HWY 55 at the very end . LOL never saw a IS that come to an end like that but being that close to the DMZ is good ! I spent a week on the DMZ back in 73' when N.Korea captured the ship called the Pueblo . It was scary for a while . But yes it's definitely changed .
