This is a sad reality for current digital camera technology.Most digital cameras build up "noise" (kinda like grain but it's a very ugly, snowy blue) with exposures longer than one second and quickly gets much worse for each second after that, until your image is useless. This is true for all ASA settings, though a higher ASA will make it worse from the get go.
You can work with some noise in a long exposure image with careful use of Photoshop, or by using a plug in noise reduction program from Quantum Mechanics.
However, you still can't shoot any longer than 2 or 3 seconds. Maybe 5 to 10 seconds if you're very lucky, but don't hold your breath. I've gotten away with almost 3 seconds, but I had a LOT of work to do in Photoshop before it could be published on newsprint. Even after that it wasn't pretty.There might be hope for the future though. The new Nikon D1x and D1h cameras supposedly don't have the noise problem with time exposures. They're pricy though, over $5,000.
