Here are 2 images of star trails I took over the weekend.

One is 3 x 30 minutes and shows the South Celestial Pole (the camera was aligned with my permanent pier so I can tell where the SCP is in relation to the top of the tree!!). The smudge is the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The other is 8 x 30 minutes (4 hours total) of my weekender at my observatory site.

Modified Canon 20D.
