Mary McIntyre Astronomy<p>2 years ago today I finally completed my 24 <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/StarTrails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarTrails</span></a> project, combining star trails images taken through a full year from the same spot in the UK. This wasn't easy to pull off!
