[QUOTE="WyoDuner, post: 162395, member: 14602"] Samsonite, thanks for the nice comments. I use Deep Sky Stacker (freeware) for stacking the images. It identifies the stars and places them on top of each other. As a result, it appears that the ground is actually rotating but the stars are static - you can see the blurred sections of the ground as a result. I have to limit exposure time to about 20 seconds with to prevent the stars from looking too oval. Here is a 100% crop showing the oval shape of the stars due to the long exposure.
