ok, canon camera bog standard 18-55 lens manually focussed on something on the horizon, then 6 sec set on manual iso 100 and a lightning trigger. then when its too bad to be there pack it in started at 7:43 and packed it in at 7:57

the selected images to stack in startrails (some were far too bright)
