Les, Thanks mate!
Dave, Haha.. I live for projects!
Its what I do (well.. what I will do from now on..)
Overall I think im just getting bored of taking 1hr total exposure images and having an ever growing collection of mediocre images. where as , I think if from now I push out, and only add 5hr + total exposure images to my gallery, I'll have better chances of getting that one shot that you sit back and think.. Damn.. That was worth the colossal effort!
David - Yes, the TMB/LOMO 80mm F/6 was used for these images at prime focus... I used a Baader MPCC to flatten the field as I don't particularly want a 0.8x reducer.. 480mm focal length is QUIET wide enough..
