@treehouse productions: Thank you for your comment. I could get up to 2 hours exposure on one charge. The hard part is keeping planes out of the image. I wanted to go longer with this one but I could see a plane coming across the sky and it was going right across my view. Fortunately, here in Florida the sky appears to move quickly since we are relatively close to the equator so I was able to get good trails with 691 secs.
