First widefield attempt

It's probably not the done thing, but I tried combining 2 x 10 mins worth of tracked subs with a static horizon. Took lots of fiddling around both with saws & drills to attach the camera at the right angle, and then in Photoshop to put it all together, but I finally got a result.

Shot in my back yard last night. Three angles; one single long-exposure for the foreground, two 10 x 60-second stacks for the sky. Both stacked & processed in DSS, all three edited in Lightroom, exported to Photoshop for panoramic stitching and further editing, final edit back in Lightroom.

Shot with a Nikon D600, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 at 24mm & f/4.5 from atop a NEQ6 mount.

Would be interested to hear any feedback. Do people do this sort of setup or am I being ridiculous? Do you think the image actually works, or does it look somewhat cobbled together?
