Taken where I live on a rural property between Wagga Wagga and Albury. Single 3 minute exposure. No stacking. White Balance of 3800 Kelvin. Slight curves adjustment and slight colour saturation in post processing from memory. I got my plans for the barndoor tracker from "A Beginners Guide To DSLR Astrophotography" by Jerry Lodriguss
http://www.astropix.com/BGDA/BGDA.HTM. I can highly recommend it as a great guide, although as I said you can find plans pretty easily on the net. There are even YouTube vids of people constructing them.
