What camera are you using? Try for somewhere in between ISO-400 to ISO-800 and expose for a lot longer.

Example: if at ISO-3200 you were imaging for 15 seconds, that is a difference of 3 stops to ISO-400. Your exposure would therefore be 2 minutes. Or, 1 minute at ISO-800.

Thanks for that, I will try lower ISO, but as i'm mounting on a simple tripod i cant expose for too long due to trails.
I might try ISO 800 for 30 or 25 secs see how that goes

Thanks again
