I took one of my longest star trails I've ever taken last night. The moon was pretty strong in the sky so couldn't take a continuous exposure so opted for a stacked image instead. This is made up of about 280 x 30s images all stacked together;. Had I have shot continuously for that time I'd just end up with white from all the moonlightI actually ended up shooting about 30 minutes more than I used, but decided not to use the last ones as I'd started getting some light flare from the moon on the lens.
And no, I didn't stand there for 3 hours, I setup the tripod in the back garden and went inside for the duration
