Hope you don't mind me adding mine (although I haven't posted in the beginner's forum for a while).
Just wanted to show that the brightness differential issue can be tamed somewhat. The biggest improvement in my images has been with my processing. One of the things I am doing these days is reducing the contrast in DSS before outputting the image to Photoshop. I can then fine-tune the sky background etc in the final image once I'm happy with it.
This was 12 x 5 minute subs through an ED102 with a modded Pentax DSLR.
