If you are aiming for an "Eye of Sauron" effect then you need to have your 
exposure set for at least one rotation time which in my case for both of my 
setups, is 7 to 10 seconds.  Auto exposure tends to turn off before this 
leaving the photos still relatively dark and only showing part of a 
rotation.
