My neighbor told me to stack 30 second shots for the Orion Nebula instead of going for one long exposure.
I was in my backyard in Phoenix last month trying to get a clean shot with my old DSLR, and the noise was terrible. I stacked about fifty of those short frames like he said, and the final image came out way sharper than my old blurry attempts. What's the longest single exposure you guys have pulled off without a tracker before the stars start to trail?

My old Canon Rebel could only manage about two seconds at 50mm before trails showed up. I had better luck with a wider lens on a really sturdy tripod. It's all about that focal length and how steady your setup is.
