I managed to guess the celestial pole (the center of the spin) from one the previous shots at this same location here. It was a bit of a wild guess.

Kane has some awesome tips on finding the pole here. Also while you are there, check out his star trail shots, some of them are amazing.

Now that I've had a taste of star shooting I want more. Any good locations in Canberra? Bear in mind the light pollution. All the light you see on trees and the grass is from our camp fire some 100 meters away.

Lessons learned from this: lower your exposure, bump your ISO to 6400. Noise can be easily removed with Noiseware or Noise Ninja. I'm using Noiseware.

Any tips?
