I am probably lucky my digital only takes 8mb card so I still have to think if the image is composed corectly and is the shot really worth the precious space on the card, I do have 4 memory cards though so at the highest res that works out to a total of 100 pics.
I tend to shoot in raw tiff format, averaging 11megs per image which kinda blows a mem card in no time. I try to limit it these days to 256megs in a single session, but I have shot 3gigs once on a weekend in the maountains!!! Downloading straight to notebook.
between 512MB - 1 gig but thats taking heaps of 1 minute exposures.....if your taking 5 min exposures I would probably only use around 250MB as a 5 minute exposure is around the same file size as a 30 second exposure....for me in Raw around 7MB for each raw.
Anyway they get stored directly to my PC or laptop so 100 gig laptop hard drive should be enough...lol
I know that the camera I use is different to what you guys use but...
I use between 1 or 2 gig per session. But a drop in the ocean when you have 1512 gig storage capacity in the camera.
Plenty of room to practice, practice, practice.
For me it varies, from 512 to 1 gig. I have take up to 114x30 sec shots in one session. More importantly, there is usually only one object per session.

They wern't any good! i was trying different settings and exposures, some planetary shots were out of focus by heaps the rest had star trails and camera lip up mirror movement
All my shots are in raw. So I frequently shot over a gig in a photoshoot. Doing a nude photoshoot (not the smutty variety) this weekend with a female friend so will probably take 2 gig worth.
Last year I took over 6k images, will need to get my camera services when I get to 20k, which will be in a couple of months.

LOL I know exactly what you mean. My last effort resulted in disaster after I discovered that I must have bumped the camera after the second frame. Everything else was out of focus after that. Oh well, another 4 hours wasted!!!!
Well just halved the number of images in one go today...
yip, was in too much of a hurry to remove a 512meg crad from the puter and as I pulled it!!! I saw the static flash from me to it!!!buugggerrrssss.
It still works, but every third or so image is corrupt... even after formating, it still doing it...
