Most of the other shots are quite good but have colour gradients that need removing.

The Southern Cross shot made me go "wow!".

You've pretty much got my "dream" setup there. Great going.

Hi Cam,
I said it was over processed - I attach a less processed version.
I over sharpened the detail in the first with HDR toning.
I am still learning processing.

The Southern Cross was just 2 x 5 minute shots with the camera
on the EQ 6 mount using a cheap kit lens!
I think I need to do more of them.
The advantage was that Mt Baw Baw is 5,000 feet in altitude & is a dark site.
