focal before star trail happens. There is the “500 Rule” which means
that you take the number 500 and divide it by
your focal length to determine the maximum number of seconds of your
exposure before star trails are apparent. For example: If we have a 24mm
lens on a full-frame camera, we can take 500 and divide it by 24 to get
500/24=20.8 or about 20 seconds.
APS-C cameras and cameras with higher resolutions sensors need shorter
focal lengths to achieve similar shutter speeds without star trailing
and the rule becomes something closer to a “300 Rule” for APS-C sensors.

My two favorite lenses for astro photography are the 24 f1.4 and 14 f2.8.
For the 24 1.4, the max shutter speed is 20 seconds, and 36 seconds for the 14 f2.8.
