Not a bad attempt Colby. I can imagine how much work it was taking 37 separate shots, just standing around for 18 minutes or so. You should definately get the ML-L3 remote if you want to do more shots like this. It's even a helpful addition when you want to be away from the camera and take a shot.
slipping_halo, to remove that amp glow turn on Long Exposure NR. It takes 2 pictures, in effect doubling the exposure time, however the second exposure is mirror down. It takes a picture of black and the camera uses this to subtract the amp glow and any noise from the actual exposure. Note that you won't be able to use your camera for the same period of time as the exposure, so if you take a 5 minute exposure your camera won't be ready to take another picture for another 5 minutes.
