Here is the process I use for creating "Fading" Star Trails:
1. Individual images are taken as a timelapse sequence using a DSLR - each image is exposed for 30 seconds, continuously over a 4 hour period (creating a total of 480 images) - (2 per minute X 4 Hrs)
2. The images are then combined into a sequence using Lightroom (and some plug-ins).
3. A .MOV (Movie) file is rendered using Adobe After Effects - and Star Trails are created from the moving sequence (Star trails are created by ghosting (and aging) the stars so that their trails fade).
4. This is a clip from the final sequence (it represents about 60 combined images).
(I also used an LED Light to keep the tree bright (It has to light it for 4 hours solid!)
