and by the way, where i live, Auburn, Washington, i have set up my camera and taken images of Orion and found anything more than ten seconds at 300mm, f5.6 saturates the CCD. Full moon at f22 for 1/200, f22 also saturates the CCD. And i know where the geostationary satelites reside for they show up as dots in the middle of star trails. Fom the APOD, I would pick central Africa for extended sky imagery.
