The shots are nice, I think you would have benefited from shorter exposures and stacking as that technique can enhance the stars better.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've read a little about this stacking business. I'm going to try that in the future. I usually shoot film for long star trail shots since power is not much of a concern with my Mamiyas. I'm willing to try the stacking method so long as there are no gaps in the star trails and I don't have to spend any time trying to fill in any gaps that there might be.

If you are shooting to stack, remember to turn off in camera noise reduction. If you don't it will take time to process between shots, and you will get gaps in the trails.

Long, lonely hours well spent! Great shots.
