Thanks Roger, I've done as you said and it has come up nice so I have posted it here, just wait for some more clear weather to add to this image.

I don't know Dr Paul, maybe the ambient temperature had a bit to do with it as the camera is not cooled, I have much better results in winter. The outside temperature on the night was around 24deg as opposed to as low as 6deg in the winter months.
