Decided to see what I could do with another individual frame from my last star trail shoot The central region of The Milky Way is better positioned in this one.

You can find a video of the full timelapse sequence and resulting star trail picture here [link]

Twilight and dawn star scapes are all about the timing. Because you are shooting at high ISO's you are picking up all faint light, so if you can physically see a sceen like this in the sky then you are either too early (twilight) or too late (dawn) You need to be shooting just before you (or after you) see light on the horizon. Memory is cheap though, so just start shooting continuously around about the time you think. You will get some shots at the start that are over exposed with the sky glow .

thank's for the tips i've been trying/experimenting with lower ISO to avoid the noise/grainy look mostly playing around with different settings

what is the highest iso your camera has my T3I can go 3200 great for low light video

I won't lie to you- unless you have a tracking mount forget about trying for low ISO images for night sky scape work. Worry about noise and grain later in post processing. With fixed tripod you need to gather as much light as possible. Bump up your ISO to at least 3200. My camera can go up to 12800 but the most I shoot at is 5000.

thanks for the advice and tips and for always answering my questions i really and truly appreciate it i hope one day i can re-pay the kindness u have shown me u and (afeinphoto) have been so help full i only know of 1 photographer that i have met in person that is willing to help as much as the 2 of u and it's photo's and artist that do the things u both do that keep me shooting

any way back to the point what is a tracking mount is that for doing telescope type shots or is it something u can use with a regular tripod i need to refine that part of my post production work using the "reduce noise" filter better my buddy is going to help me with that in a day or to

i usually shoot my stars capes at 1600 with a wide open aperture at 3200 where would u recommend me setting the f/stop

1 last question more of a opinion i am going to be lens shopping very soon I HOPE

i am looking at either a 10-22mm(the Tamron i had a lens that they made a couple years back and i like them a lot and now they r making lenses s=designed for the smaller sensor like the one in my T3I) or canon EF-S 55-250mm for my next lens out of the to which would u get based on what i shoot (i will end up with both of them in the long run)

i have a 18-135 which is a great lens and it came in the kit i also have a 50mm and 100-300(which i am not happy with at all it needs to be sent in to canon to be cleaned it was a gift so i am not complaining)

also will be getting a Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 FISHEYE in the near future but after the lenses i mention above

Still wide open. There is no such thing as too much light in night sky scapes (unless you are trying to shoot when the moon is out- avoid it for milky way shots like this one) I used the Tamron 10-24mm for this shot. The extra wide angle is great.
