Thanks Mike, really appreciate your positive feedback. Are you staying at Kalbarri on your way back down the coast to have a second chance?

Your image is very nicely composed with the MW at a diagonal and your coastline at a diagonal also.

90 seconds to 2.5 minutes in hindsight may've worked even better. Gee, 5 minutes would be even better!

I have found 90 seconds gives a compromise to the slightly blurred foreground but saturates the MW well. But foreground untracked and sky tracked means you have the freedom to go longer and use lower ISO and protect dynamic range (it drops heavily as you up the ISO ve 1600) and lower noise overall significantly. 2.5 minutes at ISO3200 I would estimate is close to an ideal setting for a 6D.

Greg.
Yeah, 90s is probably the balance I'll aim for, but regardless I always do un-tracked forground shots, I notice the difference in 20s+. I'm going back to Kalbarri soon hopefully and weather permitting will be trying a bunch of things including longer exposures. On the first trip I was as much as anything trying to get to as many spots as possible to scout for future trips, so kept the exposures short so I could move on quickly. Also on the first trip I was sticking to the one lens, but going back I'm going to mix it up a bit and do some more f/2.8's which will help the data.
