Thanks Greg. That's encouraging!
CS6 lets you make the lapse longer by spreading out the frame rate. I did that but when it saved it must not save that aspect. So I had a version in CS6 that was about 3X longer (same number of frames).
Yes you would think dew would bloat the stars. Perhaps it is curvature from the lens. It does have a bit of curvature. I did use lens correction in CS6 to adjust but it didn't have D800 as a choice, only D4. Perhaps I need to work out my own lens correction settings.
The dreaded Ken Rockwell often posts suggested corrections for various lenses.
I'll also try doing one with my 24-70 lens which has less distortion or perhaps the 14-24 at 24mm.
I am also scouting out good locations to do these from. But my own backyard is actually very scenic so that is a very easy place to start before I trek somewhere and don't get a good result.
Greg.
