Artist Star Trails

Some artistic star trails taken using the cube a few months ago.
(I had to drain the battery, and well, why not do it this way?)
The round trails were taken by pointing the camera at zenith, changing the controller to max speed, press and hold the right arrow, and at the same time click and hold the remote timer switch on the camera, then duck down low, and run around in time with the mount so the leads don't get tangled.
What a hoot!
The other image, set in the Scorpius/Sag. region, was made by using the mount controller as an etch a sketch.
All good fun. With practice, I reckon I could make a recognizable picture.
