My longest startrail yet. I just left the camera going while I got some sleep. Battery finally died after about 4 hours. I more did this for the timelapse sequence. But seeing as my battery didn't last as long as I thought it would and as a result I didn't get the section of sky I wanted rising on the horizon I just threw this star trail together.

Canon 60D
Tamron 10-24mm @ 10mm
f/3.5
ISO 3200
35 second exposures for just under 4 hours
Stacked in "startrails"
Final processing PS CS3

so... i never done it, but I am assuming its a camera setting, where the shots are taken automatically one after another... yes? 30 second exposures back to back?

Yes you can set this up in camera but you need some sort of remote or cable release to lock the shutter button down. I have a programmable remote in which I can dial in exposure length, number of shots, delay between shots, etc. The other way to do it is set the camera to continuous shooting mode and then lock the shutter button down with a cable release.

well i got a remote, but I don't think it has all those functions.
whenever I shoot long exposure, i usually set it on a timer(2 to 5sec) and just move away from the camera letting it do its job. not sure if there is a setup to have it doing more then one shot without my involvement tho.
