They look really nice mate for a single frame but I see what you guys mean with the stars still I would be over the moon to get shots even close to what you guys are getting.pardon the pun.
PS is it just me or does Queensland have a monopoly on Astrophotographers?

I only have a RA drive on my old mount, so a bit of drift aligning gets me around 30 sec exposures (but usually 20 sec to try and keep the stars round). I use a canon 1100d and try for 3200 iso, if the weather is cooler, but if too noisy drop it to 1600 iso which seems to be the best general setting on the 1100d.
That first one with the 120mm f5 was shot at 6400 iso and 15 sec.
Cheers Rick
