Were you using a Polarie for the panning? It looked good although I found the first one where it is tracking at the same pace as the Milky Way slightly unsettling for some reason.

Greg.
There was a mixed bag of equipment and settings.
Cameras: D700 and D3S
Lenses: Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 stopped down to f/2.2-f/2.8, Samyang 14mm f/2.8
Exposure times were 30 seconds for 14mm and 15-20 seconds for 35mm. ISO at 3200/6400.

I used Polarie for panning at sidereal and half-sidereal rates.

Cheers,
Alex
