David;

You might consider doing an experiment.  Try shooting a couple of fields 
of view that have a variety of objects that have differing magnitudes.  
Consider NGC 7331 in Pegasus or the Pelican Nebula in Cygnus, the outer 
layers are much fainter than the inner bright sections.  Open up you 
planetarium program and see what the faintest galaxy is around 7331.  
Like that.

Take on those areas with several different exposure times and see what 
the results are versus your visual observation from, say, the 
All-Arizona site.

Hope that helps;
Steve Coe
