Tonight, after work, I took the K-x, Sigma 20 and my big dumb tripod down to the beach. These were shot at ISO 200 and 400, mostly at 30 seconds and at f/1.8.

Has pentax changed the long shutter noise reduction? I've got it set to default (1 in the menu, use when needed) and it doesn't seem to be kicking in. My 30 second exposures only seem to take 30 seconds, not a whole minute.

Also, there's something that keeps showing up in my photos, that looks much bigger than a star, but I certainly don't see anything that big when I look with my naked eye. It's to the left (east) of Orion:
It's in the upper right of this photo, shot with a 20mm:

30 seconds of exposure so in one dimension it's maybe a minute of rotation, or two, wide, but in the other, it's the equivalent of several minutes long.
