All are single exposures of 30 seconds stacked together. I usually set up my camera for 40-55 minutes, so you will get 80-100+ single exposures. The lines are jets, unfortunately there is a lot of air traffic in the Southwest. I wish I could get rid of those

I have 6 at work. I can try on a higher res copy if you want to see if it would remove them.

Superb job Yvonne! I need a free night and a place to go try this out, you put the bug in my ear.
