[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 26178, member: 1926"] Know the area very well. :) I finished 1st place at the Sugarloafer's Cherry Creek 2003 Hare & Hound in the Vintage Class on my 1970 Triumph. Not sure if this will help (since I am learning this DSLR stuff myself) but the D5000 has a bulb mode where as I understand it,from a tripod and a remote, if you go to "M" and after pre-focusing and turning off the noise and selecting an aperture then open the shutter in the bulb mode you can leave the shutter open as long as needed instead of setting a long shutter speed. I was reading about this today and it is supposed to be the best way for shooting things like lightning and fireworks. I would guess that stars would be the same. Hopefully someone who know more about this can step in here. :) [/QUOTE]
