Pardon me for forgetting to mention, that's an astonishing photo RR.
You set the shutter speed for 20 secs? I don't know much about photography but I presume you were using an SLR. I have a digital camera but I can set shutter speed as well. I wonder if I could take a picture like that using my tripod. Of course, somewhere away from all the city lights.

@greyman808:
You can certainly try tweaking various settings to see if it helps but, like RR said, SHIV was designed for stellar simulation. I can only imagine the coding nightmare it was to get the major constellations in place. I don't recall anyone having an issue with this before, but there's always a first time.
