Thank you so much Mike
I really appreciate that from you. I don't have a version without the trails for this shot (other than the shot straight out of the camera). The trails where blended early on in my processing steps so I would need to go back to square one. I was going to say that you could see a similar shot from the same location, of the Milky Way without the trails in the linked thread, but I just noticed that you had already seen "Rising Tide".
I will probably have one or two more images from this location still too come. Stay tuned.

I did similar with a barndoor mount back in the '90s, it could track east and west, Had a film camera with slide film and a manual lens, track for 2mins fully open, drop the cap on, switch to westward tracking for a minute, step the apeture down to F15 and lift the cap for another 15mins, only the bright stars left trails, eg the sth cross or orion etc !
Coool , you have just given me an Idea with todays gear ? Cheers !

Thank you so much Bob
Wow! Thats quite an interesting process you did back in the 90's. I always thought that this sort of image was not possible without blending at least two exposures, but you have got my mind working now. Might have to give that a try one night. I always prefer to do images in one take so to speak.
Cheers
