The Plough

Had been thinking about star trails in Dufftown tonight, but the forecast was heading more and more towards cloudy, so I abandoned that. Instead I headed down to the River Deveron to try stars without the trails.

Took my big fancy tripod with joysticky-type head, and whilst I love it for when I need to recompose really quickly, it didn't actually tilt back as far as I wanted it to to get at the sky :( Almost sharp - cars going by or tripod movement? Now where did I put the plate for my cheap-and-slow-but-tilts-right-back-and-stays-in-the-same-place tripod???
