Regretting not doing the same and heading back later, but I still enjoyed the weekend regardless.

Worth experimenting with ISO.. makes less difference than many people think and you definitely gain dynamic range when you need it.. I tell people this all the time on my workshops but it's only when I was standing there figuring out how to make the shot work that I decided to do it. 400 on 5DII also achieves almost identical to 3200, but maybe not quite as good as same settings on 6D.
It was certainly helpful that the dish had moved around later on.. i was surprised that it stayed clear.. i thought by the time i got back out to the dish that it would cloud out again. my pano experiments recently have been partly inspired by your sweet shots so thanks for that too!

Thanks Fred. I know you wouldn't say it unless you meant it

I'm very happy (even a little surprised) with how well it worked out. Now I'm just frustrated to be missing out on a clear winter Saturday night in Vic.. too many other commitments!
