Thank you so much Marc With the 14mm on the full frame camera I could probably do this in just two shots if I wanted to ( It has about a 120 degree field of view) but I did 10 to make sure I had a heap of overlap. Yes I just started at the southern horizon and worked up until I was shooting straight overhead and then I spun the tripod around and came back down to the northern horizon. All you need to do then is flip those last images.

Thank you so much Mike and Marco I really appreciate that coming from you guys. I adore and but can only dream of your work. I won't be entering this in the APOY for two reasons. I hate flicker and even if I put aside my grievances I think I am pretty much too late anyway.

What are the exposure details?

Greg.
Thank you so much Greg I'm glad you like it. F/3.2 30 seconds. ISO 3200. I really had the sweet spot with the moon light for this.
