Hey Benno good effort there, you would probably get much more light on your images if you could expose a little longer.

Is it that you cant track at the moment, other than that well done.

Nice start Benno, well done.

Is the camera on a fixed tripod?

Those are good ones, Benno, and you've given me some ideas on how to improve the images I'm taking with my 300D....but definitely I'd allow more exposure time.

BTW - what areas of the sky were you shooting?
