Yep, I was using a wide angle lens @12mm which on that camera is equivalent to 19.2mm on a full frame/film camera.
I tend to do my night shots well out of the city area, as well as the light pollution issue it also means I'm less likely to freak out someone (or have them harass me) because I'm sitting on a foldout chair at 2am doing nothing...
Remember for star trails (with no foreground object) you'll want to manually set your focus to infinity.
