Rooftop star trails

Cities are not the best places to capture star trails because they always have a lot of artificial light. To capture long star trails from my rooftop, I take a large number of 15-second shots and stitch them digitally. I also capture short star trails (with exposure times less than 10 minutes) without any digital manipulation.
