I had a wander into the wilderness last Friday night as the lunar calendar said it was a moon free night - and after studying star trail tutorials - I went off and had a go.
I set my camera on a nice sturdy tripod, got the wide lens on, set a nice wide aperture - did all the techy stuff right - and then set the intervalometer to shoot one 60 second exposure followed by another for 60 minutes.
I've then used both photoshop and a stacking program to try blend all the images together - and from a distance - they look pretty ok.
Close up though it seems like quite a few dots/dashes along the trails - not quite the smooth line I was expecting - see the example here.
Am I missing something obvious? Or is that just to be expected?
