Equipment Details:

Canon G9X
28mm, f2. 0
100min exposure (6s@ISO640 X1000)
Canon EOS M10
19mm, f2. 8
30s@ISO1600

Post-processing Details:

Out of camera JPEGs.
The G9X has an intervalometer.
Images are captured, stacked and processed internally. I'm lazy.

Image Details:

Near the Equator, star trails are always a concave downwards function. Nothing is circumpolar.
The Observatory deck faces South. This is looking directly North from the Garden. You can see that the Observatory is aligned very well to the Meridian.
The 2 brightest stars near the bottom of both images are Vega and Deneb.
