Friday night was awesome in Dryandra! My SQM gave an average reading of mag 21.6.
When I finally decided enough was enough at around 3am, my black pelican case for my camera and lenses was white with frost and there was ice forming on parts of the Astrotrac's pier.
I thought about taking a photo of the frost/ice but BRRRR!! I just wanted to get inside and sit in front of the fire pronto.
The bogan boots(UGGS) worked perfectly, my feet were toasty all night.

That was probably an unfair comparison(very slightly), the Nannup image looks like it was shot with the lens wide open(f2.8)
Here is a new comparison with 1x 5min sub from the 5 hours of data I got while in Dryandra over the weekend.
All gear and settings are the same for both shots with the only exception being the sub length.
The single Dryandra sub was a very quick and basic process for the purpose of the comparison.
It is easy to see the 60min stack has had to be pushed very hard.
I'm now going through the 5 hours of subs to weed out the sub-par subs, can't wait to stack and play with this data!
