Post your low light long exposures

So I lurk on this thread all the time but never actually post anything, I just use it more for learning. But I just saw this thread out of nowhere, and nighttime/long exposure pics are my passion, so I'll post some stuff up. I'm not sure the quality will be that great posting through the Tapatalk app, but we'll see.

This is Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, GA.

That's most of the stuff I have on my phone, I'll dump some more pics tomorrow when I'm on my computer. Feel free to critique.

bode galaxy stack reprocessed crop.jpgDSC_4048DSC_4048.jpgm42 stack 3m42 stack 3.jpgbode galaxy stack crop reprocessed.jpgphoto 1 has 4 galaxys in it two of them are smaller and fuzzy but the other two are bodes and cigar galaxys. photo 2 is a meteor fall over the house. photo 3 is of m42 in constellation of orion . photo 4 is a crop of bodes and cigar galaxys. all shot with either my d3100 or d5000. the one of the house is a 25 sec ss and 18mm fl if memory serves me right. Im sure its in the exif if anyone is interested. the other ones are stacked images of roughly 12 minutes total. bodes and cigar galaxys are roughly 24 million light years away. So yes, your cameras can do that!! those were shot at 1600 iso and 3x15,3x30,3x60,3x120 sec shutter speeds.

Still learning this Milky Way business. IMHO, I'd be a WHOLE LOT better off with a D750 for these shots. The D7000 is sooooo lame when it comes to low light noise.
