Three crappy monopods are almost as good as one crappy tripod.

Well, for one thing, if you want to take a step back from the shot to
think about it before tripping the shutter, a tripod lets you do so
without losing your composition.

As to the other, I guess I could do handheld trails before tripod use.

Excellent! The only thing I might recommend is a wee bit of counterclockwise

Thanks Walt, Alan, Bob, Walt, Bruce, and shark.
Jack -- Think it's about the same number of lights as before (though I did
stay 15 minutes later). Just a wider f stop and longer exposure. Made all
the difference. Well, IS was off too, which also helped.
Paul -- You've got a good eye.
Best one yet.
Looks like Ralf has some competition!
