Here's my first and second attempt at star trails. In my first attempt, I made the mistake of too short of an exposure. It would generally be somewhat light polluted near Battle Mountain, but fog and low cloud had enveloped the lower terrain blocking out all the light pollution coming from the Columbia Basin. My exposures should have been two minutes, but they were only 20 seconds. On my second attempt, I raised my exposure to one minute since it was the longest I could go without blowing out the illuminated fog below over Pendleton, Oregon. I believe it's a better attempt than the first, but still room for improvement. A couple of vehicles went by and down Emigrant Hill during a couple of the exposures. I'm not quite sure if the illuminated foreground hurts or helps the image. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for looking,
Wade
