Going to start packing a lot of extra batteries, too?

You inspired me to go out and try some star trail shots last night. My Nikon D200 can do interval shots, and it was doing pretty well last night until the 25 degree chill killed my batteries. I used to take star trail shots with reloaded disposable cameras...I'd rip out the shutter mechanism, put a piece of opaque tape over the lens and then duct tape about 6 of them together to a wooden stick. It kinda worked...
Try turning off the in-camera noise reduction. I don't have problems with my batteries draining shooting trails. Have you checked out the How to Shoot Star Trails guide that we posted? Might have something in there you may have missed too.
