How can I do a long exposure for shooting the stars? Im in Utah and my brother mentioned setting up his camera to do this...and it occurred to me...I dont think the RED can do this. Can it?

Can not. yet... there was mention of 1sec exposure time sooner or later, but no one knows or sure (and 1second isn't enough most of the time.)

As I've said before, if it's too much to ask for a full range of shutter speeds, just give us B mode; you can do the rest with an intervalometer or a stopwatch!

Longest exposure you can do is set your camera to 1 fps and change your shutter to 1/1 or 360 degree. You'll have to do a Blackshade at current fps/shutter to get good results.

I second Joseph's advice. I recently did some night shooting at 1 fps and 360 shutter, but I forgot to blackshade before I went out. The plan was to take multiple 1-second frames and combine them in post for an overall long-exposure (not sure yet how it will work out). Because I didn't blackshade at the super-long shutter speed, it was hot pixel city. I took a black frame with the lenscap on so I'd have a reference of the hot pixels to fix it up after, and it worked out ok. Just remember to blackshade first, and get creative with that shutter! =)
