Forecast said clear all night and it didn't tell fibs.
2880x15sec exposures=12hrs of star trails.
OM1 will run for 6hrs then I have to start again.
1440 combined in camera.
2 6hr images merged in StarStax to create this.
To say I'm happy is a definite understatement.
Little Lens is only f4 so ISO is 1000

I take photos, am not a photographer.

@rhoing with the right camera it’s easy. OM1 does all the hard work, combining hundreds of images. StarStax is free and ridiculously easy to use. If OM1 is beyond budget, the older EM111 can be bought second hand but I can’t remember if that’s a 3 hour battery. Of course if you are in cold(er) climates you need heating units and power packs but as with most of photography- once you’ve got it no more needed. Let me know if you want more information and I’ll happily help if I can. Thank you for the lovely comment.
This is only the second time the Sky Gods have allowed clear skies long enough for 12 hours. I still live in hope that in deep deep winter I’ll go over 12 hours. It’s definitely possible
