Default Stars over Mynydd Troed

I went to the Brecon Beacons last night to get some dark skies. Unfortunately, some space rock ruined it by shining really brightly. However it did come in handy for showing the landscape against the washed out sky scape.

Looking at my other shots, it looks like I either wasn't getting the focus quite right or underestimating the trailing or kicking the tripod or something. The seeing may also have been pretty poor. It was really blowing on top of Mynydd Llangorse earlier.

Hello Glom:
The place is appraised very pleasant, the Full Moon served like a powerful flash.
Often, to do good focus, I do many photographies sharpening little by little, until giving with the point for stars.
Many greetings
Cesar

Really beautiful topography captured there, Glom. The blur and striations echo Van Gogh's brushstrokes, at least on this woeful works monitor.

I just realised that this one of Mynydd Llangorse didn't turn out too bad either.

I should probably learn to use that programme that came with my camera for processing pics better.
