 I was hoping somebody would name that constellation - Orion, I searched all my star 'apps' but without success. Thanks Eric. I will update the caption. Photographically the D3 is the best thing I have ever done, from the moment I used yours briefly, I knew it was what I needed. The D1 was a good camera which gave me a lot of enjoyment for three years but the D3 is a superb tool. I am hoping the D3S, which is on the horizon, will fix the banding issue when the sensor gets hot. I am finding I need to restrict the exposure rate to 20 seconds per minute at ISO400 to avoid the issue, but that works well enough for star trails, so I can't complain. I took another star trails sequence last night, I feel it's my best yet, the sky was perfect, full moon and zero cloud. I could have stayed out all night but after tree weeks of playing Mr. Shifter I was too tired. I'm sure there will be more clear nights.

Well you have also captured two of the brightest stars, along with Orion. Procyon in Canis Minor, top left, and Sirius [Dog star) in Canis Major, centre bottom. Attachment: 0059CB2E-18EE-4F6F-ABDC-4EDFE332EB8F.jpeg (Downloaded 23 times)

I've been doing some night shots too! The local council are doing some son et lumiere projections onto key building around Lynn.... Attachment: 95C09F75-7B69-431B-B441-88D22631A749.jpeg (Downloaded 24 times)

My latest StarTrails pix, after I had taken the Motorway light trails pix, on my way back I stopped by at a local landmark, a tall radio mast. Oddly It doesn't seem to have a red lamp at the top, despite being quite tall and at the top a large hill, unless it's only visible to aircraft? Mmmm, Flicker is down right now. This is a screenshot of the banding issue. This batch was taken at 30 seconds, f4 at ISO640 one exposure per minute. This is a screen shot taken at 1:1 or a 100% crop one image pixel to one screen pixel. Attachment: Screen Shot 2017-11-06 at 20.01.11.jpg (Downloaded 98 times)

Thanks for the map, it's probably my eyesight, I see dots that aren't there and don't see dots that are!!! I did realise that the group was a constellation but just couldn't figure which one. I did try the Southern Cross but apparently that's in the Southern hemisphere... Wonderful! Muncaster Castle do something similar and project what appear to be Disney characters chasing each other across the walls of the main building, kids love it!

I used to get some of that on the D1X on 10sec exposures! So there has been some improvement in exposure time before it happens.
