What are you doing in the way of post processing? Stacked images out of Deep Sky Stacker which I use always show less detail. It's the stretching using curves and levels afterward that bring out image. 30 second sub exposures are short for many but not all deep sky objects, you'll need to get at least an hour's worth though. The best thing I think you should do is get this CD book from Jerry Lodriguss, who posts here in the DSLR forum. http://www.astropix.com/BGDA/BGDA.HTM
