I took this on Wednesday around 12:00 while camping in Lost Valley. It's no D700/D3, but you can get some descent results. On the other hand, the long exposures (with long exp. NR) on a D300 with low ISO seem sharp and clean for star trails, if your lens doesn't fog up... Don't bother trying on a D200. My mother, brother and I shot underwater, infrared, macro (spiders), Elk (sunrise/sunset) and panorama all in a one night camping trip to Lost Valley. I'll post more soon. Only few are lucky enough to live in that area...

Aaron, this is more like what I see around this area. I struggle to even see it in the night sky. I'm always amazed at the clarity and detail Tim get's into his Milky Way shots. Sounds like a non-stop trip!

Hey Aaron, I don't remember seeing that many stars since I was a kid camping in the High Sierras. Nice shot,
