Nice.

I really need to have a go at doing that. I dont have a fish eye, but did buy one of those cheap adapters you stick on the front of the lens to create the effect.

Very nice Fay I can never get camera lens imaging to come out anything like that.

Nice picture!

It appears pretty black - have you subtracted the light pollution?

Is that a meteor or could it be an Iridium Flare or similar?

Nice trees ;)

That lens is working well for you.

Agree with Mark, does look like an Iridium or other satellite.

not sure, i automatically thought meteor. Starstax offers a few more options while stacking. i used Startrails. i may restack in the other program to see what happens
