No problem - I used a tokina 11-16 2.8. I cranked the ISO up to 6400 and opened the aperture up all the way to 2.8. Exposure was 25 seconds. I wanted to get as much light as possible in without obvious trails. I read somewhere that 30 seconds is about as long as you want to go before your stars start to look oblong. Dave
