Okay, first the auto on the camera is useless for this kind of photography.To get the glow looks from tube with 200 ISO film will take much longer than 5 secs.
If you want to take pic of the whole amp and see the glow too... You have to set your camera on tripod. In a room with very low or no light at all. If you want easy one, you could use your camera flash for this to get first initial exposure for the surround (the amp itself) With 200 ISO film set camera on Manual mode; if you taking pic with most of the amp in it than set f. stop at about f. 8 or 11 for start. Than set the shutter speed first at 15 sec. Second shot at 30 sec and third shot at 1 min. If not sure do another one at 1:30 min. This is call bracket.
One of this shot will have good glow with correct initial flash exposure.
Follow Ups:
Doing a multiple exposure on one frame is a daunting task for many.Much easier on larger format.I might have taken a spot reading with a Minolta handheld meter.used that f/stop with flash and drag the shutter on my Nikon 5-8 secs.
Multiple exposure? Where did you get this? I did not say to do multiple exposure. I said to take some more to be safe... first shot at 15 sec second at 30 sec and so on. Not doing it all in one frame. This is call bracketing.If he just want tube glow againt the dark surrounding than he just skip the flash and leave the shutter open.
