Cheers Graeme, & Agree totally with longer subs, speshly at 10mm,
Was quite fussy with polar alignment and quite happy with near zero trailing using the 'L' series 70-200mm @ 200mm for 60 secs
Could of extended the exposures to just see what limits where had, but only did 'run-of-the-mill' stuff, so hopefully the next session should yield better results
Appreciate your input mate
