Is this any good? Criticism is welcome. Also, startrails thread.

BTW: This is one single exposure (80mins).

I know it doesn't make any sense not to stack this kind of image from many darker exposures as it helps to prevent hot pixels and noise, but i tried here, as an experiment.

don't get me wrong im a sucker for startrails, but whats with your composition? sideways corn and half a tree line isn't the best

the sky is beautiful despite some small issues (stationary stars/lights and some light trails from planes or whatever). the color is really strong and it's charming because it's sort of amateur but very beautiful. anon is right, the foreground sucks. i'm not saying you can't, but if you can make big blurry foreground shit in a startrail photo look good, it'd be a first. big blurry foreground shit is always a tough thing to integrate into a photo.

What camera goes past 30mins? Or is it a composite of 3 images? The colors are really nice.

Gear used? I don't usually care but I didn't think it was possible to shoot for this long on a single exposure without film. Were you using a modified camera with a cooler?

I agree the sky is absolutely gorgeous but maybe the foreground could be tweaked and made more interesting.

Set it to stay open when you hold the button then tape it down.

What I meant was that I've read sensors heat up during long exposure, and too long an exposure causes bright spots to form.

the purple spots are your sensor begging you to stop exposing for such a long time

Amazing work anon!! solid editing, colours, and I even liked how the composition worked with the foreground and the trails!

what it need to be even better. Clean the spots on the image, there are too many of them, and get rid of the hot pixels. It's just a minor adjustment and it wouldn't take too long!

liked it a lot!

It's called "bulb mode" on most cameras, it lets you keep the shutter open as long as you want

Yeah, but only if there's too much light. You can melt your shit if you point your lense at the sun as well. Generally starlight should be ok, a full moon might be an issue at like an hour though.

no, just be sure your camera firmware is up to date. For the longest time Sony cameras would use aggressive denoising automatically if you exposed for 4 seconds or longer. Sony finally updated their firmware last year to stop it. It was called the "star eater".

I updated it late last year, I was more concerned about the sensor burning or something because of the whole Sony's always overheat deal.

I think I'll stick to stacking shorter exposures still, can't afford to replace my body any time soon.

Good attempt all in all. Pretty damn nice colours on the sky but I would push the blacks further down and bring up the whites to make the trails a bit more striking. Moreover, next time try to be a little bit more selective with your foreground.

Nothing I hate more in star trail or astroscapes is a boring foreground. Compose your shots as if you were shooting a proper landscape first and foremost. This is a bit of a nitpick but I think you should have included at the very least a part of Polaris in the shot cause it tends to look better imo.

Well done!
