Hi Mark,

Theres no need to keep the shutter open all the tiem - well no these days anyway... set the camera to take jpegs, set the mode to M exposure time to 30s and the apetrure to say ... start at the lowest... setting ISO to 400 or 800

Take a continous stream of jpegs and then combine them using the startrails application available from here...
