Hi Tailwag,
I've got the Canon 350D and got some reasonable results of McNaught on the tripod with an ISO of 200 and an exposure of 30 sec. I didn't notice any trailing, but I was using my 50mm prime lens, so maybe not enough magnification.
I'm a bit new at this too, but I think cometcatcher means that with longer exposures on a fixed tripod (which is all I have) the camera pics up the stars as they move, giving streaks. If you can piggyback on a telescope with a drive that tracks, you should eliminate the tails and get brighter star shots...
Hope that makes sense...
(Thanks for all your posts by the way, I'm learning alot!)
