Thanks for the input everyone! With a fair bit of practice with the wider lenses, I'm sure when I use the longer focal length lenses it will be much easier. Getting the hang of locating SCP will go a long way towards making things easier. The two pics I posted were more of experimentation rather than hoping for a stunning result. Just wanted to push the limits of what was possible with rough PA.

Happy to send you a PDF with description and detailed charts if you're interested.
