The number of hours of exposure provided in the APOD description may be wrong.
I saw the photo in Astrobin www.astrobin.com/55798/
It looks like the total exposure was 20 minutes and not 30 hours as mentioned in the APOD description.

Thanks and Regards,

Re: APOD assessment poll #3

APOD was the first website I ever visited (back in 1997). Back then, the address of the site was http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ and I had memorized the whole name :) Today, it is the first website I visit everyday. There has not been a single day that I have not liked the APOD. You guys are doing...
