You should make a guide on astrophotos, how to take them, what's needed and all
Here's a good guide for astrophotography: http://asignobservatoryii.webs.com/astrophotographytips.htmI agree with Ben. Honestly Evan, I think you should. I think lots of people here would be interested in reading it and taking astronomical photos.

I tried to get a shot of the starry night the other night when I was at that bridge over the dual-carriageway. It didn't come out very well because I under-exposed it, too bad.
Nice shots there Evan! :good: and yes I've always been interested in astronomical photography. How did you get a 55 minute exposure though?
It is possible that you can make it HDRI. By 30 sec, 20 sec, 10 sec. Or 30, 15, 1. It is good that you got tripod and remote.

It's quite possible, the above shot that I posted was only 30 seconds at f2. The major factor that determines your detail is light pollution, it really has a major effect on your shots. You should get about a hour away from a major city if you want a nice dark sky.
In this shot for instance, the pink light to the left isn't the aurora, but light pollution coming from downtown.

Thank for tip, I will keep in mind. I have Canon PowerShot A590 IS, so it limited more than EOS. 15 Sec is my max. Plus it is little light pollution, it can be due to little too high ISO i guess.

It's a shame the sky is blown out

Shoot multiple exposures
That's what HDR is for 
My baby D-SLR doesn't have an in-built HDR feature, but I can do it on Photoshop.
Anyway, some you may like from tonight. Lens flare is annoying, I need to get a lens hood I think.

Nice ones, Jason. For HDR I like to use some software called Photomatix, from HDR Soft. It's some damn good software IMO, giving you quite a bit of control over the image, and offering a handy LR plugin. You can get some pretty cool results when shooting RAW. I picked it up for $80, a small investment, but worth every penny IMO. You can get a free trial from their website, but I believe it'll leave a watermark on all of your photos.

The electric wires ruined it for me :S
