    This Startrail was captured using my 2nd camera on March 29th 2009 in my backyard, Leics at the same time as the landscape image previous. For the first time in a long time clear skies were forecast all night. I set my Olympus E3 camera with 7-14mm wide angle lens and left it running all night. 15s exposures on continuous shoot. Nearly 1500 images stacked and placed on a single layer in Startrails.de software. Probably one of the most impressive duration startrails I have attempted. 6 1/2 hours of slpendid earth rotation effected by the startrail.
    Startrail captured on March 29th 2009 in my backyard, Leics. For the first time in a long time clear skies were forecast all night. I set my Olympus E3 camera with 8mm fisheye lens in an adjacent field on tripod. Rigged up the extension lead to provide continuous power and left it running all night. 15s exposures on continuous shoot. Nearly 1500 images stacked and placed on a single layer in Startrails.de software. Probably one of the most impressive duration startrails I have attempted. 6 1/2 hours of slpendid earth rotation effected by the startrail.
    Star Trail from 27 March 2009 in my back yard. Not a brilliant effort.
