Michele no sorry as the 20d does not have that function, But it is something that I would really like to try and will have a go at it this December in the Kgalagadi when we are at Rooiputs and Polentswa :-) :-)

Here is a link from ODP http://www.odpmagazine.co.za/getting-st ... ii-of-iii/

Do Star Trails fall under Time-lapse photography? I tried it once and it was a disaster! 0*\ -O

One can do a Star-trail time-lapse Flutterby. It involves taken 100's of photos over a couple of hours and putting them into a video which then portrays the time lapse. Easy in theory but a bit more difficult in practise......

Thx for link PRWIN...and good luck when at Polentswa and Rooiputs. I may try something at Urikaruus next month.....:)

flutterby you must bump your ISO way up and then play with the f- stop and time , doing this you should get a idea where you going. A good sight to check is 500px under landscape as they normally give the settings as well, Also you must look directly South to get the spin
