A few more beginner shots... how bad is my light pollution?

I had a fantastic evening last night: setting up my gear while watching the beautiful sunset, watching the Milky Way set (what do you call the half that has Scorpius it?), watching Jupiter rise, watching the other half of the Milky Way rise, finally watching the stars wink out under the beautiful sunrise, and then off to bed with the aircon cranked up for a great day of sleep

Here are a few photos that I took during the evening. I'm still aiming for quantity rather than quality at this stage (each photo was about 10 - 40 subs X 30 - 180 secs each) while everything is still new and novel.

I have a question for the experienced digital SLR shooters here... continued in the next post.
