Hi all,
in the old days (heck I am sounding old now), with film I would be looking at about 5 - 10 minutes at ISO800 etc.
These days the D100, and a "decent" lens (so about f4 or so) I normally hit the skyglow problem at about 5 minutes, so I use about 2 - 3 minutes, and if necessary, stack a few. This was a single 3 minute exposure at ISO1000.
Try it, you can't hurt.
