Over Thanksgiving I had a chance to get out of the city. Too bad it was cloudy (breaks in the trails).

This was 116 stacked 30 second images (just under an hour) and one base exposure layered in.

Thoughts?

I shot a lot of 30 second JPEGs with no noise reduction, then loaded them into this program: http://startrails.de/h​tml/software.html (external link)

First of all, how come the trails broke up? Was it because of the cloud cover? Shame really, because it would've been perfect otherwise.

Second of all, images should be posted in the "Photo Sharing" section, rather than the "Talk about..." section. But hey, who cares? ;)
