Questions as above - what was the exposure time to get the stars to appear with no significant star trails?

And why is the snow, R. foreground so white?

Sorry, must be thick . It's obviously the headtorch. But not sure about Stonehenge in the background?

The lines are actually ice encrusted electricity wires that link up a relay station by the Cosmiques hut to the Midi. Nothing too exciting there am afraid!
Exposure time was 25 sec, it was a full moon night.
Correct about the white snow, and stonehenge is the old remains of the original scientific research lab that used to stand there...cant have been too pleasant in those days in that!!
thanks for your comments

Nice one, I was puzzled by the lines too, thought it must be a mock up. Well done!
