This is last weekend's effort at the "whirlpool" galaxy. Specifics: Canon 300D (old school) @ ISO 800 for ~90mins @ 3550mm zoom f/6.3.
THis is located just off the handle of the "big dipper".

Ya they do but my eyes have always followed the stars

Actually have another friend online goes by the nick of GrafXman he does this type of photography and research for a living. He is supposed to send me a copy of his book when it is completed

Yes, but you must be far away from city lights, no moon, etc...
