SHOKADU, I used a 30 second exposure time, f 4, iso 800 at 15mm on my 15-85... you should give it a shot where you are anyway, I could see maybe 1/5th of the stars that actually showed up on the cameras sensor if not less, it is exposing for 30 seconds, a lot longer than your eye sees so it can pick up those small ones that get by us! P.S. 25 miles away from down town chicago

I'll give it a shot when I'm down in Hawaii next month. Until then, here in Alaska it's still way too daylight to see a night sky. I'm going to have to wait until the late fall season before it's dark enough outside to capture something.
