Description: Star Trail above Beccles, near to Gillingham, Norfolk, Great Britain. My last trail (image) was taken in an area with large skies and less light pollution. However I decided to venture out for a little while at Beccles Quay near to midnight and try a star trail here. The street lights highlighted the tree to make it look as if it were dead! However, I can inform you it is green and alive in real life TM4291 : Beccles Quay. I had learnt from last time and brought a stopwatch, meaning even pictures of the same quailty. Twenty photos one and a half minutes long stitched together to give this effect. The faint streak above Polaris (the centre star) is a plane, sadly not a meteor.
