Thanks for the kind comments Matt & Mike.

I used my Canon 300D with a Tokina 12-24mm f4 zoom (AT-X Pro DX, to give its full title) set at 21mm. I had removed the scope from the Vixen mount, because piggy-backing on the rear of the scope at 21mm, gave a better view of the scope than it did of the sky. I didn't do any dark frame subtraction, or any real post processing, other than tweaking the contrast and doing a Photostitch, then cropping slightly.

I also found that when I had done a 3 frame stitch, that I had managed to repeat one of the images on the wrong end, so instead of A B C, I had managed an A B A, if you see what I mean. One of my Club Members pointed that out, but I don't think anyone else noticed that I had re-arranged the Milky Way.
