There is a lot of noise and some trailing but I was suprised I could even see it.

Would and object like this work better if I was to take shorter exposures to minimise trailing then stack several shots?

Cheers,

Well done Dave.

I don't know about stacking shorter images coz I know nothing about DSLR's. I don't know if they will capture enough light in shorter exposures. But the best way to find out is 'give it a go'
