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.

Thanks. Was reading about star trails and we got some, but I was not impressed with my results. If I could get some like these my opinion would likely change.

Good question. goodgirl thinks it was from a car that came by while I initially thought it was from the light from my trunk being open. Cool result either way.

My Canon timer is busted but it still functions as a remote release by plugging it in, then unplugging it sometime later.  |
Actually, in the bulb mode if you manually hold the shutter button down it will stay open until you release it. Then I found out goodgirl had her remote with her so we did play with that a little.
Next time I will use quantum-x's suggestion of the 200 ISO.
So much to learn.
