Stars in my eyes

Having a look over the internet and speaking with a few people has taught me that I will need to "film" my star shots with an SLR camera.
Mockmoon2000, my youtube inspiration, released a new video! I have been trying to look into what techniques he uses to create these time lapses and because he writes everything in Japanese, things aren't going too well. Google translation can only take you so far.
All I know is that he is using a Nikon D3, a camera my dad uses, and he takes a photo roughly once every 6 seconds. Watch this in HD to do it justice.



I have also come across a few websites with tips on "Astrophotography". The first website is by a girl in california who uses a Nikon D70, which is the camera I have! There is hope! The second link goes into a lot more detail about the technical aspects of photography of the stars.
