Hi all,

Here's just over 2 hrs worth of circumpolar star trails taken last night while hunting down 30 galaxies with my brother-in-law's 10" Dob out towards Cunningham's Gap SW of Brisbane. (Had some great views of the Leo Triplet and Virgo cluster plus several others, and finished off with great views of Saturn at opposition using a borrowed 3.5mm Nagler!)

We intentionally parked the car facing north so that I could pick up the reflected trails.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen
