Image details:
Fujifilm X-T1 with the Fujinon XF 14mmF2.8R lens
- 130 images for star trails shot at ISO 800, f4, 30sec
- Foreground exposure ISO 1600 f2.8, 60sec
Foreground image blended together with the combined Star trail image in Photoshop CC

Remember: "The sky is filled with stars, all invisible by day"
