Its like a worm hole. The exposure it great especially for a 4.5 hr exp.
Damian
That looks brilliant. I love the positioning of the rotation.
David Burren
The positioning was a matter of setting up the tripod before the sun set (using a compass and a star chart for reference). I must admit I had expected the pole to be a fraction higher, but I’d left enough room that it worked out.
Then going back to the tripod after dinner and setting off the shutter!
