Nice shots MPH, as always :).

Great pics MPH - well worth staying up late to enjoy the view

Cracking shots MPH - i enjoyed the eve and got some some pics that I'm real chuffed with - best I've managed so far. Thanks for the tips from you and Astroman.

Fab photos, the top one is my favourite, it was a beautiful night.

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.

the batteries you currently have.
