Now that you are comfortable with the technique you can find compositions that will work with the trails.
I see, noted with thanks. I have three conviently loacted trees in my yard that I have difficulty avoiding. Might trya a different angle adn zoom in abit.

Tumbling Iridium? Interesting. I used a bigger and more stable tripod second time around.

Thanks.
