Heres my lame attempt at shooting star trails.

Yes i know its not perfect.. im working on it lol..

Also that long line in the middle is the airplane crossing over.. I wonder if my stock kit lens can handle this at 17mm.. I need something wide hmm

This was with my 50mm lens..

Will give it another try tomorrow..

Also i need to find the southern Polaris.. hmmm

some nice pics guys

siddr20 - not a bad effort - how long was shutter open for? you have a remote or how did you do it?

what did you have the camera on? and most puzzling of all - how come the trails look like dots?

(this one was with exposure: 59.1 sec so yours must have been aaaages)

Which link? my stars one? how about THIS?

As for remotes - i bought THIS cheapy and it works and the quality is better than i expected.

Have only tried normal photo's haven't tried doing bulb WITH the remote (can test tonight though)

Yea its still in the making..

Will try again tonight if the skies are clear!! Hopefully this time it comes out a lot better!!

Might try it with my stock kit lens.. I need something wide!! hmmm

As for how long the shutter was open for.. well 30 seconds.

Once i get it perfect i will share my exact method.. Coz right now its just all trail and error lol

zennon your linky no worky. on the 450d, bulb is the next option after the 30sec exposure. i need to buy a remote

If you can find out if the the remote switch for the 450d is the same as for a 350d, then you can buy mine for like 5 bucks or something!!

If it doesn't work, i will give the money back.. Since the 450ds are new im sure they changed the plugs?? But im not too sure!!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
