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
