Cheers Greg. You're one of just a few people who inspired me to do more with panoramas than I have in the past.. thanks! Certainly have been a few surprises (and expected frustrations) once it came to processing these.

Thanks Rob. Gegenschein is certainly there more than people realise.. just need to know 'how' to look for it. I wanted dark skies.. a long way from anywhere.. so that it would be obvious that light pollution wasn't part of the sky brightness.. to show that airglow quickly becomes the limiting factor. St George was certainly far enough to achieve that.. perhaps a bit too far.. it was a long drive there and back!
