My 'test' exposures were made on the basis that the shorter exposures didn't reveal the smaller stars, just the larger ones, but maybe the viewing screen on the back of the camera isn't the best viewer? In the dark I found it hard to zoom in and check the detail, but I now feel the long exposures were wrong, it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle once it's in the image but I wanted to be able to capture the meteors, the only two I captured were quite faint but unlike the stars they were orange, the same as the clouds and the light polluted sky.
I later concentrated on the darker sky and there are plenty of stars in the images, maybe there would still have been had I made shorter exposures?
