First Light Canon 500d Star Trail

Hi all,
A couple of days ago after much procrastination and homework, I finally decided to buy a 500d. So after having a couple of late nights reading manuals and pushing buttons i couldn't wait to have a shot of the night sky.

I thought a simple and bright object would be a good start so I tried a few shots of Crux but with only using a tripod i could only squeeze out 20 sec subs and then they weren't that great, still trying to process those ones.

So the next thing that came to mind was having a go at some star trails. For a first attempt Im very happy, my focus is a little off and the trees in the foreground are very bright (problem of having a factory in the distance).
The image is a single 5 min sub iso 800 f4 noise reduction off. No processing has been done yet.

All comments welcome and appreciated,

Cheers
Scott
