I used to hate that water tower, but it seems to add a nice interest to the foreground in wide angle shots.

Thanks Ross.
Yeah if you set up next to the shed it will be in your line of sight east.

300mm is the sweet spot. You should try 5min subs guided to start with see if you get any reflections. I use a UV/IR cut at the back of the lens (just before CCD) and a Fringe Killer before the lens. I focus with a small bathinov mask or in Nebulosity 2 with the fine focus routine and check the numbers. Also stick the lens in a sock. You will likely not need any heat. The camera radiates heat through the lens and will kepp it warm unles you point straight up.
