Your results look amazing. I've always wanted to make a barn door tracker. Was it hard to build?
Correct - bias frames for flat calibration.

Heres a single 155 sec exposure, canon EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM lens on 6D shot with my barn door. @ f/6.3 ISO 5000

I borrowed lens from my cousin, will have to borrow it again and take a lot more shots I think!!
