It was pretty awesome up there, albeit bloody freezing, but I managed to capture a couple. This was is a single 30sec exposure, and there are some satellites in there too. I thought they were meteors at first, but they're in adjacent images.
Like you, I'm after a better lens. The Sigma is a bit slow at F4.

Cool pic. It worth a try for sure lowering exposure and increasing sensitivity. I really haven't tried doing that before. Might give it a try next time. Here is another one I picked up this morning.
