Hey guys
I have been wonting to experiment with night photography, most specifically star trails.

Some general tips, apertures, ISO that are good and shutter speed.

I have a tripod and a remote switch.

Also I am interested in what lends may be useful, wide or zoom or other?

any help would be much appreciated:D

Ronny, an excellent tutorial is posted HERE (http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?t=8629).

Its a great guide written by Astroman for that sort of thing that probably hasn't received the recognition it deserves.

There was another recent discussion thread here: http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?t=8442 that went over the same subject in some depth. Andrew's article will cover most of what you'd like to know before starting out! :)
