Hi all,

went I used to take star trails with my trusty film camera I got nice smooth trails now when I use my DSLR I have two problems - hoping someone can comment.

If I leave the lens open for a long time too much stray light seems to come in and lighten the image too much. So, I have taken a series of shots and then stacjed using Startrails.exe - the problem here is that the trails are not smooth but a series "blips" as the lens has to close at some point between shots.

Is there a way to get the nice smooth trails I was getting with the film camera on a dslr?

thanks gang
