My first star trails!

[virtualpilot45]

On holiday at the moment, but with a full moon floodlighting everything the only thing I could snap was star trails. I did one last January, but other from that I'm a bit of a newbie. There are some gaps between the trails, this is because my little compact, although being able to do 60s exposures, takes 5s or so to process them and let me take the next pic. Apparently holding down the shutter in burst mode with a rubber band is good for eliminating a bit of this, so I will try this in future!

I was initially unsure as to whether it is commonplace to get rid of a blue background or leave it in so I left it in

There's a church on a hill just visible from one spot, so the first pic shows the original image of the trails, the church being lit up only by moonlight, and the second is the same image with a picture of the church with its lights on superimposed.
