Space photos are the gnarliest.

a telescope with a camera body mount seems to bee what you need. or a really long exposure to get anything up there.

Check out local observatories. I'm pretty sure most will let you take photos for deep space images. Been meaning to visit one that's down the street from my place. These are from a grad student in their astronomy department. http://www.howell-ltd.com/Astron…

Awesome, man now you have me interested. Wonder what's possible with Canon D digital cameras with a 30 sec exposure max...maybe there is a hack to get the shutter to stay open longer?
Found this discussion, which may or may not help.
