Peter.

image 2 was 848 seconds AV 5.6.iso 500,taken around 11.45 pm.Image one
sane but ten seconds less,I'll find the details on the third if you like.

camera on a Vixen GP mount in the garden,I have little stumps in the ground
with groves in them,so the tripod legs sit firmly in them,and its PA.I have a dovetail with manfrotto 484 CR ball head the camera is attached to.I zoomed to 22 mm had AF on took an image of a far way tree,switch to MF,put dew heaters on and cable release.Ready to go then.

Channel 9 WIN NEWS on the Darling Downs,just featured image two in their
weather section,got close to 30 seconds exposure and intro!.So that was great to have a astro image on T.V
