Not a wildlife photography thing really, but I was shooting star trails the other night and I was wondering if anyone has done much with this or has any tips/comments/suggestions. Or if anyone has any thoughts about shooting these with digital vs. film. __________________

 NICE PHOTO- THE ONLY THING I KNOW ABOUT TAKING THOSE TYPE OF SHOTS ARE THE LONGER YOU LEAVE THE EXPOSURE TIME ON CAMERA THE LONGER THE STAR TAIL - IF YOU TAKE A PIC OF A STAR THE LONGER THE EXPOSURE THE MORE LIGHT IS LET INTO THE CAMERA- TRY THIS - FIND THE **NORTH STAR ** ITS OFF THE HANDLE OF THE BIG DIPPER - AIM CAMERA AT THAT AREA LEAVE CAMER SHUTTER OPEN FOR HOURS AND YOU WILL SEE ALL THE STARS GOING IN A CIRCLE AROUND THE NORTH STAR AS IT DOES NOT MOVE - http://www.danheller.com/star-trails.html __________________

Thanks for the link, Barry.
I would love to learn more about taking photos of stars and star trails, so that webpage will be very helpful.
Once I tried to take photos of the stars. Most of the photos I took are bad but I managed to get one decent shot of the Southern Cross, Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri.
