I went out on Thanksgiving night to get some star trails. I do not have a manual timer so I had to manually use a remote every 25 seconds. This particular star trail is comprised of 50 25 second photos. It was very cold and windy but worth it. Any comments are appreciated.

Interesting. I think the Excavator, or whatever it is, is dominating the picture slightly. I'd have maybe tried to back up a bit and get the whole thing in, including the bucket on the end of the arm. But otherwise it's not bad at all. I quite like the way the trails are brighter one end than the other, giving a good idea of the direction of movement. (Assuming you're in the northen hemisphere that is?!)

Yeah, the color kind of got distorted on the excavator while putting all the photos together. I tried getting some of it back but for some reason it stayed like that. I also have been trying to calibrate my screen for awhile to make sure I am seeing whatever everyone else is seeing but its been kind of difficult. Thanks for the comments though.
