That is so cool, and very clear too! Thanks Jerry.

It must have been some weird glitch in the matrix...I deleted all the uploaded pics and toggled all the fine and raw settings, re-imported and now it works as normal again. Who knows?!🤷🏻‍♂️

@SimonF, the same image sequence used to make star trails can also be used to make time lapse videos. Star_Trails_October_21_2024-Wi-Fi_Low.mp4 Note 1: This is a .mp4 video file. Unfortunately, some browsers will not play these files, but there are plenty that will play them. Hopefully, those reading this will be able to view the file. Note 2: This time lapse sequence shows Taurus, the Pleiades and Perseus rising in the sky. Along with a lot of other 'regional sky stuff' as well.

It is fun. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but once you start getting some practice, you can use it as an excuse to be outdoors at night 😃. I am looking forward to seeing images you post.

I don't know whether I've missed something along the way, but here's my view: Firstly, I'm new to the digital world, having used film all the way (still using film as well as plates on occasion). I've always used prime lenses, with zooms being something of a reluctant inclusion to my armoury. I'm still using the old glass a bit on my X-T5. However, I've found to my surprise that the kit lens, for a start, (the 16-80mm f4) is actually very good. I've also got the 55 - 200mm and the 35mm prime (this being my "nifty fifty". I'm happy with the coverage and happy with the IQ from them all at the middle aperture ranges which I use so much. Time was when I wouldn't have given a zoom much consideration at all, but these lenses aren't letting me down in any way. In fact, I was seriously impressed for once to find a kit lens which was a "keeper" (weather-resistance included!). If someone was starting out, they could get by very easily with that on its own for quite some time, without feeling the need to replace it soon after purchase. I only actually got the kit lens because I had nothing which would speak to the camera, and I wanted the camera to have every chance to show what it could do Given that my most used lenses on my SLRs were the 50mm and 135mm, I had those in effect from the off in one lens. OK, they're not as quick as primes, but that isn't an issue for me. When I bought the X-T5 my intention was to buy a full set of primes over time, but I'm not feeling the need to at the moment. Am I missing something here? Genuine question. Don't be afraid to point fingers and laugh if I am missing something. I'm a big boy and I can take it! But, yes, that is my question and my quandary before I commit any further money in the Fujifil/Fujinon arena.
