Star Trails

[McNugget801]

I'm sure there is an advantage, but i'm going to be shooting at a higher ISO, than I wouldn't want the stars to be moving

Killer shot but I'm still not sure why you would want to limit yourself to single a exposure on star trails.

Thanks. Also, I used continuous shooting for this picture, which was a great help and a hundred times better than pressing a remote shutter each time, but should I still consider an intervalometer? I had to count how many pictures had been taken on a piece of paper, which got a little annoying.

You could have taken one exposure for about 30 minutes and got the same effect with no editing needed.

I could have, but I like doing the editing to get the end picture, and also if a plane flies across the sky it is easier to remove, also, you can get more stars (I think) from multiple exposures

Here is a picture without the plane trail and editing (and the original for comparision) Tell me if you think it looks any better
