Just for interest, this is the output from the StarStaX software which I used to create the star trails. I wasn't happy with the brightly lit tree or the red light by the Cromwell door of the Priory. The tree had been lit by several passing cars while I was making the star trail stack exposures. The red light was me showing Christopher the bullet holes in the door made by Cromwell and his men when they attacked the priory in about 1645 during the dissolution of the monasteries. There are bullet holes which burst through the heavy oak door and can be plainly seen.

I layered a much cleaner image over the star stack image and cut away to reveal the star trails and other bits that were good.
