Andrew,
Wow you must have some nice skies indeed! I do the same, I just take darks as I pack up. Not ideal but when its that cold and late – You just want to sleep! And you took those pics after 15 years – wow! You’d get amazing results with a dedicated cooled CCD then

I recently bought a programmable cable release, so hopefully I can reduce my iso and push the exposure time up.
Atalas and Darrin,
Thanks

Yup gotta make the most of those photons!
