ISO and exposure, Dave? thanks :)

[Big Dave]

Brighter shot 8.5secs
Darker shot 60secs

Both at ISO 1600, Pentax Raw.

Had some 3 minute longer tracked photos but were over exposed, too bright skies here!

That Pentax GPS works fairly well, but not perfect when camera is tested 90deg. Far better than normal shots but.

Thanks Dave. Getting ideas for tomorrow morning's shots.
