Hi Will,
those are clouds actually. This was actually my first ever shot on the tracking platform we call The Astrograph Mount since it was set up at my place. Previously the Mount had been a nearly 300km round trip to use. Now it is only 40m from my back door. The Mount has a 10 inch Byers drive. No dec drive, and is just for mounting cameras on (see the picture attached as it was at its' previous location).The mount is capable of handling up to ten cameras at once.

The 35mm was f/2 for 15 mins, and the 400mm was f/6.3 for 15 mins.
It may seem like going back to a washboard to some, but for simplicity and cost, especially for beginners, it is an easy choice.Of course film or digital is only one part of the equation. Tracking ability is the other.
Cheers
Ian
