I think you'll need a lot more exposure; looks like you're only picking up mag 2; you'll need to get to mag 5, which will take about 20 times longer.

I've found a little photoshop enhancement does wonders with digital photos of the sky. In any case, I'll give it a shot myself this evening.

Of course, if you wait a month, you may be able to get a nice wide-angle shot with the comet and the Pleiades.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try again tonight too. I used f 3.5 and 30 seconds for the pic. Guess I'll try for 10 minutes. We usually have clear nights here with no glow. I'm out in the boonies at the edge of the Gila National Forest in NM and the skies are spectacular most of the time.

Trying to figure out how to get beyond the 30-second max time exposure on my camera. It doesn't have the bulb setting. Otherwise won't be able to get the pix.
