Best Framerate For Time Lapse

hello, i wanna do a timelapse of the sun coming up and have a few questions.

1.) If i want to make it timlapse ill be filming the sun coming up for say - half hour,
then, in sony vegas you can just hold control and shorten the clip to make it faster,
or expand the clip whilst holding control to put it in slow motion. But there is a point
where it wont shorten anymore because its got to its 'max' i suppose, i want this clip
to be only 10-20 seconds long and i cant see sony vegas being able to compress it
that much. What is a better method for doing fast motion or time lapse? e.g what
would you reccomend i do with the 30 minute footage?

2.) Would i want to set it at 20fps or 30fps? i think that on my camera 720p is 30fps and
1080 is 20fps. which would be better for this (which would make me able to compress
it more on vegas?

Any comments/links/videos appreciated :)
