Nice Shot Bert!

And that was a single shot! Very nice!

This is a personal observations....is this a mod'd camera? The Milky Way star clouds are normally shown up as brownish/yellow/orange, certainly that is how they look on an image from my 20d (unmoded). Did you alter the white balance or do you think this is a result of the longer exposure and/or the LPR filter?

Also a quick question, why did you choose to shoot at iso 200 with NR on - I am of the understanding it is best to shoot at the highest normal ISO your camera supports (1600 on the 20d) and do darks in s'ware, this maximises your light gathering time, dropping to ISO 800 on a bright object might improve S/N a little but below that there is very marginal, if any, gain to be had.
