Yep

The first step was to drive 7 hours out of the city (That's the hard part :-)

The rest is easy, use a compass to find south, find a relatively
interesting object to put in the foreground, check where the
lightening was & select a focal length & composition to suit.

I start at ISO 6400 & shoot a 15 second exposure. Review the image &
increase the exposure time as needed. If I want to shoot star trails
then I dial the ISO down to 200 and work backwards from the ISO 6400
exposure time.

Thanks mate.

Cheers,
