It would have been a perfect time for star trails;
Waning moon to new moon (this shot). We were out in the desert for eight days and my intention was to shoot one frame of star trails every night. Then, in the morning, try a double exposure.

Well, I kind of 'stuffed up' just about every shot;
Not setting the shutter on bulb, forgetting to put the battery back into the camera, shooting the second frame with bulb setting, winding the film before shooting the second frame and not adjusting the exposure for the double exposure.

During the night, as it so happens when one sleeps out in the open under the stars, people were wandering about with head torches :)

If all goes well, I'll be in the desert again next year and then shall have another go :)

Nevertheless, there are a few 'interesting' shots coming up, so may post all eight of them; Actually nine. For the first frame I didn't put the shutter on bulb and left the battery in the camera. So, I peeled myself out of the warm swag (it gets pretty cold at night), set up the camera for a star trail, and climbed back into the swag, by now a bit cold as well.

The bright spot are the solar lights on the 'kitchen tree'. They stayed on all night to ensure people, who needed to wander during the night, found their way back to their swag again.

This frame is straight from the lab scan, no adjustments.
