Startrail above Windmill at Langdorp

Very clear sky this evening and I made some time to withstand the cold to make a startrail. As a scene I used the windmill located in Langdorp, direction north. I took some 200 pictures, all in Jpeg, and stacked those using startrail.de.
Standing outsite in an open field with apparent temperatures of -4°C are always a challenge. But luckily a got visit from a Helios collegue which made time passing by much faster. Thx Patrick :)
