On The Twilight Hour – Photographing Star Trails and Static Stars, May 7, 2009
I originally saw this at the FM forums. I've seen a lot of star trail tutorials, and this ranks among the best! I've done 3.5 hour exposures with my 40D when it was 30 degrees outside,  and had pretty good success. I'm going to give this a try, though. Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into this excellent tutorial, Floris!

Note that one can find these remotes from Link Delight on eBay.
On The Twilight Hour – Photographing Star Trails and Static Stars, June 4, 2009
  For those who don't wish to spend the $$$ that the camera companies charge for programmable remote switches, I can vouch for and highly recommend the 3rd party low cost alternative offered by Link Delight out of Hong Kong. Can't seem to post a hot link here, but a Google search will do the trick. This isn't my first purchase from them (programmable battery grip, regular remote release) and this timer has worked well for the dozen times I've used it so far.
