Starry Starry Night

For today's challenge song, my first attempt at a star trail. It's a stack of 60 20-second exposures at iso 6400 and f3.5.

Initially, I went to Loch Leven because it's beautiful there. Only there were no stars; too much cloud, and too much light; so I went home feeling disappointed.

And got out of the car, and saw the stars! So I had a go, despite the light pollution from Grangemouth, and for a first attempt, I reckon it could be worse.
I forgot to add a dark frame so there's too much noise, and I didn't have anything in the foreground so I cloned in one of the earlier ones from Loch Leven, complete with distracting cloud on the right.
It'll do, but I want to try this again and get it better!

Here's the song
