M45 wide field with 50mm lens. No tripod for any of these shots while Autostar in for repair so camera balanced on stool outside with some foam to allow angle to be set. Exposure 5 seconds. ST8E
Only had time for 1 trail shot before the clouds came in, this one was just 3 minutes pointing towards Bradford.
Here's one of Orion's Belt rising in the South West. I rather like the streak of cloud in this one.
