k thanks, ya i have street lights which are yellow thanksWell try ISO 800 and 30 seconds, but you may have to reduce it down to 15 seconds if you have bright street lighting.
Also, if you have orange street lights then it is worth setting the white balance to tungsten otherwise everything will look orange.
Photo timelapse is with the camera in photo mode and it gives jpg images, video timelapse is in video mode and gives an mpg video, however video just doesn't collect enough light for the stars, it can get the moon and the ISS but that is about it.
So use photo mode or video mode thenRaw will take a lot of work, biggest issue is that it doesn't do hot/warm pixel correction for the raw image so unless you do it yourself the images for a 30 second exposure are terrible!
Also it takes a bit of time to write the raw image to memory card which leaves gaps in the star trails if you are taking images as fast as possible, and if you are making a video then for 30 second exposures you will want to go as fast as possible - 1 frame every 30 seconds (set timelapse to the fastest setting, not 30 seconds).
