Shooting Stars

I've been meaning to take these pics for a while now, basically trying to capture as many stars as possible whilst being out in the countryside using a sorta long exposure. Rather frustratingly this is my first attempt:

Yes - in my first attempt I accidentally caught a shooting star. Irritating because the picture has so much camera shake but still, glad I caught it. Ah well.

Many attempts later and this is the best I came up with:

Some motion blur, this time I think from the fact the Earth was rotating... all the longest exposure ones came out like this. Will experiment further with that at some point.

Next night I attempted the same thing with a partially cloudy sky, this is the result:

Was definitely fun, I'm sure I'll experiment further later on down the line but for now happy with it as a first attempt.
