sadly, i put too much trust into my compass when i was setting up the camera, and i forgot to double-check my bearings with polaris. so i missed. in addition the battery in the camera remotecontrol failed and i had to manually hold the shutter releasebutton down, something that shows up pretty well in the picture.
