Artist's Comments
70 RAW photos. Base shot 3 minutes at F7 200 iso in half moon light. then 69 shots at F4 and 30 seconds. Batch converted in Rawshooter to 69 37mb tiffs.. do the math..over 2 Gig of pixels. Then combines using startrails.exe
[link] Sounds hard but all this is mostly automated. Then I combined the base shot with the sky shot, cleaned up digital noise and adjusted levels and foreground colours. Thanks to brentbat  for his help and advice. Comments UNBELIEVABLE!
-- love It!   I am not as well acquainted with this style as I would like to be. However, I shall read over what you have said, and research a little deeper into this technique.
From my current knowledge, I believe that this is a very interesting venture, with a very impressive result. Whilst you claim that the process is automated, it does take a fair degree of skill to not only guide that process properly, but also to capture the initial materials. There's a lot to be said about this this piece technically, but I shan't bore you with further "light vectors" and contrasting elements of motion. It's intricate, and exhibits excellent colours and patterns, so I think this is a great work. -- We Shall See    Amazing, one of the best star trails I've seen on dA! I wish I could do something like this. Would my 10-22mm be able to do something like this?
yes.. easy. you need to find a good location but. Note me if you want more info on the technique
-- Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film  wow amazing so may I ask what would be the difference from this shot or one say like thirty minute shot
as long as you like what you see here is the software link [link]
the reason for shot multiples is to protect the cameras sensor. -- Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film |

Critiques
Nice execution of the star trails, Looks good with the rotation around the Sth Celestial star.
Good f/g exposure, however there are two things that I think detract from this image.
1) The converging verticals. The buildings and phone pole are leaning into frame, this can be corrected easily in photoshop without losing significant content in top right of frame.
2) Sharpness. the grass seems a bit muddy.
You could probably crop the image tighter on left hand side as it is not adding a whole lot.
Hope this helps
