Pretty cool. I did one of these a few months ago. What lens, shutter speed, ISO did you use? You can also use the software at startrails.de to generate a single image with streaks.

That's very cool neelam. That barbed wire makes it very dramatic. Hope they release you soon!

@bebert
bro i used the ordinary kit lense 18-55 ISmm.i put the camera on continous shooting mode put a scotch tape to keep the button down lol i dont even have a shutter remote and took around 350 images till the 2gb card dried out.ISO was 800 and was exposure was of 20 seconds.star trail software is not working for me mate dont know why.i am unable to import all the pics in it.

bro i had decided to nake the title stars without borders but after watching the compressed results i was disappointed.there were no satellite flares ,shooting star and almost half the stars disappeared.following are some induvidual shots that were used to make the video

I was like "Hey! There's delphinius! There's Lyra!" nice start. Looks like you were shooting from inside a prison

BTW I would shoot something like this in small JPG mode. Video is only 720x480 pixels in size.. even 1080p/1080i HD is a smaller size than small JPG on your camera. Your 2GB card would then hold hundreds of pictures.
