Last night's 'first light' attempts

As promised, here are the results of last night's bit of clear sky. As I said, they are the cliche items but they tell me a lot. This is the first time I've imaged with the HyperStar (apart from a desperate 5 minutes between clouds last week) so I'm on a learning curve again!
The twilight flats I did were a dud. I think I shot them a bit early so I'll try again when I can. The result is that these images are with no flats, darks, bias etc and stacked in DSS then curves and levels in CS3.
There is a curious blue artifact in the Horse image that is missing in the others. I haven't tracked it down yet.
Overall, I'm pretty chuffed with these. They are mostly 60-second shots except for the sword which has a few shorter ones in the mix. Total time is about 10 mins each.
