Star Trails first attempt

[RichardC27]

Something completely different from my usual style of photography, I took this out of my bedroom window last night. First attempt at this kind of thing and whilst I’m very pleased with the result, I’m sure those of you who are more experienced in this kind of thing can offer a lot of constructive criticism on this image. So, what do you all think and where can this be improved?

Settings were 123 images shot at 17mm, 20s, f2.8, ISO500 shot on a Canon EOS 80D between 22:12 and 22:55 last night. Processed in Lightroom and stacked in Photoshop

Thank you. I’m going to have another go tonight with different composition if the weather stays clear.

Yes I did and it makes a big difference to the image for me, I was so pleased I captured one when I was going through the files.
