#APicADay 2019: Day 5, Prompt: At Night

Today's prompt is "At Night".
Great. Low light is easy, right?
Anyway, today's image:
44 mm, f/4.0, 1/5 s, and ISO 3200
And here's the best of the this type.
29 mm, f/4.5, 30 s, and ISO 800
What I should have done with this one is set the ISO down to 160 (the base ISO of the X-T3) and gone for a 3 minute exposure, or so. That would have given me much longer star trails. Or, I could have ramped up the ISO higher, and gone for a shorter exposure to try to get pinpricks for starlight. Instead I got just a little bit of streak from the stars as they moved over the course of 30 seconds. Shoot and learn.
