Trial and error, ( Back Blip)

but getting my head around the camera settings in order to take multiple images of the stars.
This final image 

*(complete with out of focus tree :-( )*

 is a composite of 45 frames each with a  30 sec exposure.
Taken from my back garden looking north. 
 Once adjusted in Lightroom the images have then been blended in Photoshop.

This really is my first attempt at this sort of thing and have been pleased to have got the rotation of the stars. 


Im already planning how to correct some basic mistakes. Next time I will attempt to include the pole star, just out of shot in this one, and another tree which will hopefully be in focus.
