Great article. Thanks Maverick. Definitely going in the notes.

For those interested in this type of photography check out this site of a photographer I follow. .
It's not all star trails, but he has absolutely amazing nighttime stuff.

Wonderful posts by all.....Is there a solution for taking star photos, not necissarly star trails, with a camera that doesnt have exposure more than 30 seconds?

Lots of trial, and error with star photography, but a tripod is needed, and for static star
shots you cannot shoot over 30 seconds because the stars start to rotate, which means
blurring.
Here is a shot taken due south from above a small lake in Pioneer Basin at
around 12:30 am.
