I might have had the idea (they don't come often!), but the execution was expertly done by yourself, so my part was a small one. Seeing how well you got it to turn out I might give it a try as a portrait star trails shot next time, but I will have to avoid flat camera batteries part way through the session next time :roll:

Thanks for agreeing to Caithness Astronomy Group using the pic on its website homepage.

Glad to be of help regarding the pic.You'll have your new camera to play with next time and the Canon batteries are longer lasting and dont take the huff in the cold like
the batteries you currently have.
