First time attempting startrails, glad I know how to now and will try in the country sometime soon so I won't have the light pollution from our town. Having some fun with the Blue Moon
@myhrhelper Thanks Kathy, I read about Startrails and tried this approach. I had the camera on Manual, ISO set to 400, f8.0 and 30 sec shutter speed, I put the continuos function on, set the focus to infinity and took the Image stabiliser off the lens. I used a trigger release the shutter which then took continuous 30 sec pics for as long as I wanted - probably just over an hour or so. I then downloaded the free software - startrails and used it to upload all the pics too which puts them all together for you. Oh yeah and I had to take one piccie at the end with all the same settings with the lens cap on to merge with the other pics - not sure why - gives an average or something. :-)
