Startrails over Viennese Roof Garden

            During a short visit to Vienna, we were fortunate enough to get an apartment with a very nice roof garden. On a clear night, I took this star trails image form that roof garden. The long line that crosses the image in the left half is the trail left by the International Space Station (ISS).

As I did neither expect to get any clear skies (the forcast was bad), nor to get a room with a roof garden :), I had no tripod with me, and no cable release either. So I set the camera to take sequences of ten images (the maximum possible), placed it on a garden table, and carefulley released six image sequences by hand.

The result is this star strails image, a stack of sixty exposures of 30 seconds, taken with a Canon EOS 550D at ISO 400, using a 10mm fisheye lens at f/4.0.
