As a new member I first I like to say a big hello to all of you. I'm an amateur astronomer from Finland and will enjoy your amazing dark skies until July 2009. I'm studying in Sydney and got a job from the AAO for the summer vacation. I was couple of weeks on the telescope site and tried to take some star trail images very first time (Inspired by David Malin of course)

Equipment:
Canon EOS 20D
220 30s frames combined (Nearly 2h) + 4 Dark Frames
ISO 1600, F3.5, f=18mm
A full Moon rised end of the exposures. The tree near by is illuminated with a torch.
Cheers,
Allar
