Long Exposure Star Trails on a Moonless Night

Continuing with the recent "How We Shot It" theme of long exposures, today we have something quite different from last week's 30 sec. sunset tide pool portrait. While shooting in broad daylight for 30 seconds or longer is a challenge because it requires a very dark neutral density filter such as a 9-stop or 10-stop ND, shooting on a moonless night at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is even darker!
