BTW, drop your ISO down to something like 200 or so. Your photos will take longer, but will be much less noisy, and the colours will be a bit more saturated. That, and if you're shooting 15 - 20m exposures, you'll get lovely star trails.
Wouldn't you need a remote release/bulb exposure for that? Even the veritable Canon 1 series is limited to a 30 second maximum shutter speed...

My Canon timer is busted but it still functions as a remote release by plugging it in, then unplugging it sometime later.
