I can't get a stable-enough image.  I have a tripod, but it is set on grass 
and with no lead for bulb exposure, I still must touch the camera for 
time-lapse photography - and it moves, however careful I am.  My lens only 
extends to 125 mm so I can't zoom very close -- not that a 400 mm would be 
any  good anyway with the mechanical instability I have to deal with.

And for any exposure longer than a few seconds, I'd need a tracking mount. 
1 degree Earth rotation per every four minutes -- bah.
