Was the second shot a time lapse? Great shot

I think it was a stack of images from around 30mins, disappointed to have missed the pole star. Most of the evening was lost with lenses frosting over, given it was around -11 degrees!

Thanks but it was the sun during the partial eclipse earlier in the year. Taken using a mylar filter and shot at (fairly) regular intervals.
 
Here's a pic of the filter and how I attached it to my 400mm.

I like the second one as I generally enjoy star trails with a decent foreground interest (the bit that is always missing from my star trails due to being too idle to travel to somewhere), but for me it would look better without the small cluster of lights on the horizon. The first one is good, a nice colourful subject, the eclipse one is great though.
