Amazing man, how did you get the such long shutter speed with a 400D ? Mine only goes up to 30 seconds MAX. Also added to fav

I hope you never get bored of this. Good work.
How did you sort out the noise problem with a digital camera and time exposure? I tried the same on my holiday to Namibia and were a bit disappointed with my results.

It's been quite a long time since I've seen a sky shot like this... and strangely, I don't think I have with it focused on that star. Gives a lovely effect.
The pollution giving the red effect is not overall bad, I kind of like it
Thank you for sharing this with us, it's gorgeous.

I have a Dslr
I exposed it correctly

what exactly is correctly?

Well, all I can tell you is that the larger the F number is, the darker your photo will be.
I set my dSLR to BULB and bought a locking cable release to allow the camera to expose for 30 minutes. I used f4.0 as that is as low as my cam can go

That is so so beautiful *_* The warm colours and the stars... they change a lot in just half an hour! And the fact you managed to keep the trees from being blurred. It's amazing!
