Awesome!  And here I was all upset that my Nikon could not do a six hour exposure like the Canon can.  I am going to have to give this one a whirl one night. <3

Really cool work Jim! I have long admired this type of photography and will someday take the time to try it.

Thanks for sharing!

Celebrate life, Debra

I forgot to mention that to get circular effect you need a compass or know how to find the north star another way. Polaris, the north star lies in a direct line with the axis of the Earth above the north pole. Because of this it stands almost motionless in the sky and all the stars in the northern sky appear to rotate around it. The north star was critical in the use of celestial navigation. Another comment on settings; I would probably use one click lower ISO, and try to get the star trails a bit thinner
