Shelly, the type of star-burst depends on the number of aperture blades of the lens. Here the Tokina lens I used has 9 blades, thus making an 18 pointed-star. All you need for making a star light is (shooting from late afternoon and all through the night) a tripod, a stopped-down (anywhere from f/11 to f/22 should work) and a longer exposure. As you can see, I have included my camera settings on the picture itself.
Hope this helps.

No star filters here, Chris, just a few brightly lit lights and long exposure did it for me.
