It probably isnt going to help that im only 50-60km from sydney....Thats why i want to try the method of taking alot of 8 minute exposures (or whatever time) then layer them up using the startrails program. May i ask how far away from major cities you are and what settings you used? This is my first DSLR so everythings still a little new to me :S
