I'll most likely have to wait until this moon cycle is over. Probably need to go to a darker site as well. My neighbors have outside lights which the long exposure is picking up. That was my guess. I think i would have had a very nice shot had it not been for this.
Probably I need to do the stacking. I've never done this. Is Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro good for this? or would you recommend another software.? I had one on my Mac last year but deleted it for some reason. Can't remember the name, started with an L.....Linkyeos or something...

Just playing around with the settings. I read someplace where it said an increased focal length can reduce the time taking these trails. Default for this camera is 45. I reset it there. My thinking on it was to reduce the time and maybe filter out some of the light pollution.

Have not tried the stacking method yet. Is there some software that you would recommend for this that I can download? I have a MacBook...
Thanks,

I was experimenting with the 50mm f1.7 Pentax lens attempting start trails. My settings were as follows:
ASA 200
Shutter set to B
Exposure time 30 minutes
f3.4
Focal length 100
This is what I ended up with, see attached photo. Any idea what may have caused the over exposure effect? Note I did notice the neight had a porch light on, so I backed up into the shadows. Perhaps the long exposure washed it out...Comments please.
Thanks!
