Star trails and a time-lapse vid

Hi all,

Last week at the ASV deep sky section meeting I set my camera going for the life of the battery (it took 495 images over 5 hours). The goal was to capture some Alpha-Centaurids, but not much luck apart from satellites and planes.
I figured out batch processing in Photoshop and also made a time-lapse video in VirtualDub, and some star Trails in StarStax.
Video (rendered at 18 fps) at https://vimeo.com/154574149

Images are from a Canon 6D, Samyang 14mm @ f2.8, 30 sec, 4 sec interval, ISO 6400.

First image: 86 images for the sky, 4 for the foreground.
Second image: a single frame
Third image: 200 images
Fourth: all 495 images.

Thanks for looking,
cheers, Tim.
