Thanks Jamgood. I hope I manage to pick up as much information and enjoyment as you appear to have garnered.
Thanks Sunshine, I've been to Ontario a few years ago and watched the ISS fly over - you have beautiful, crisp, clear skies.
Thank you for the warning Rickwayne, I thought your picture had been taken through a car window in the middle of a storm, but I appreciate exactly what you are talking about. I've done a few star trails and know what happens if you get movement in the shot.
Thank you also R26 Oldtimer, again, yes movement will kill any shot so I'll need to make sure that my equipment is solid.
