Found this website which I thought it was pretty good.

I'm travelling to Scotland this week for a month and I hope to be able to find time to do star trail, amidst my work commitments. Will see how it goes. :sweatsm:mich_2103 said:Hi,
Actually I've always been fascinated by star trails. I wonder if anyone in CS has done it before successfully?
Any ideas where to get the best star trails results? I think it will be a good time to try soon since summer is approaching.

wouldn't that burn the CCD ?

Amfibius said:You can do a long exposure like that if you have a remote release like the RS-80N3 or the TC-80N3. And i've never heard of the CMOS burning from a long exposure? Ambient temperature was quite cool - about 10deg at 1AM.

Amfibius said:This is a 100% crop from a star trails attempt last night. I live in Perth, so the skies are pretty clear. Camera settings were: ISO 100, F/22, 30 min exposure on a Canon 10D.
Anyone have more suggestions on how to do long exposure photography on a DSLR and avoid the noise?
