I'm on the verge of buying the
[h=1]Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens Kit[/h]
I was just wondering when it comes to taking pictures of timelapses (pref of stars) what this camera and lens is capable of. I know it will mostly come down to my own skill and creativity but is there anywhere I can view photos of this nature with this camera and lens.

Thanks for any help!

Take a look at my Gallery, wile not outstanding, all my pics are taken with a D3100 and the 18-55 kit lens.

All my pics are stills and not therefore timelapse. I believe that for timelapse shots you need a timer on a remote shutter release.

As for image quality both the camera and lens will be fine.
