the photo at 2m58s is out of focus.
moving the camera causes trails not blobs.

... and make sure you take it at a dark site, not in the back yard next to street light.
otherwise picture gets over exposed !

Homemade 70mm Telescopeby Ponkit63,501 views
That looks like a Pentax K-1000. That was my first camera and I have had it for 25 years. IT STILL WORKS TODAY!!!
I use a dark towel to cover the lense and have used tape to hold the shutter open and hold the button down. It works just as well as the extended release.

@buckynance Yup, I love that camera. Pentax K-100. Solid as a rock. Nice improvising! Send me pics :) Would love to see them, post them to my site.

This might be stupid, but if your going to leave the shutter open for 4 hours, wouldnt the stars of moved, sort of giving you long streaks on the image?

@mattfox14 yes, you are exactly right. If you leave the shutter open for long period of time the stars leave trails. It's rather neat looking.

is that a cannon ftb, first gen? looks like it. also you can lock the mirror so only the shutter moves when you take the picture, but i hadn't though of putting something in front of the camera to block the light, great idea. Good video!
