I'm still un familiar with shooting star trails and astrophotography. So you took 45 minutes of shots 30 seconds at a time one after another. Then loaded them into a program called Starstax, and that's how you got that image? Paul

Jan 23, 2013 08:46 | #12 the 600 divided by the focal length is just a tool to find the approx. maximum seconds of exposure before you can see the stars moving. in a star trails photo is doesn't matter because you want to get the trails. Canon t3i

Jan 25, 2013 05:53 | #14 no. the software i'm using doesn't require any black frames to create star trails. Though i would like to know why do people put black frames ? Canon t3i
