Wow, I always want to shoot pictures like these! Too bad the city lights pollution is heavy in my town.
nice I wanted to try this one out but I haven't bought a remote though.
It's cool to see the different colors of the stars... nice shots.
I have a really good camera and I want to take some long exposure photos of the sky without getting star trails. I know I have to mount the camera to a device that will track the sky as the Earth rotates. Some higher-end telescopes have this device but I don't need a telescope, I just need the tracking device.

Here ya go!
Sick of all the spam and advertising. I'm done here.
Great star trails, did you use one long exposure for each one or a few shorter ones and then stack them. I have read both can be done but wondered which would give the better results.
