Thanks Andy. It turned out reasonably well as the weather was not great and it was one of the very first images I took.

Thanks Mike. I wanted to take a fair bit more exposure time on this but as it turned out the weather the following nights turned sour. Still I managed to extract something half decent out of it. Yes the blue reflection cave near the Horsie is missing the blue hues. Just lack of exposure time really.
You would have laughed seeing how jerryrigged my AP1600 was to handle the CFF piggybacked on the CDK. Old bike batteries - you name it, got taped to the counterweights!
