This is a 602 second exposure - the mount automatically tracks the stars. Pretty cool gear:
Paul's massive telescope. You can clearly see the cloud bands on Jupiter and 4 of its moons with this thing! Everyone uses red lights to preserve night vision.

I haven't tried it but Pentax has an Astrotracer GPS module for the K-5 which moves the sensor with the stars much like a motorized equatorial mount.

I'll most likely go when the next big meteor shower occurs, and only if it's a clear, moonless night.

Interesting, but as it moves the sensor and not the camera, you won't be able to do very long exposures.

Spent the day at Stanford University in California. Some pretty amazing architecture there. Ivy league money for real.

I suppose it would depend partly on the focal length, but 100+ seconds isn't a problem.
