Thanks Richard.
Yes it was a lot of fun and we had 4 consecutive clear nights. One with great seeing, the others average but always pretty good transparency. Two nights got pretty cold though as it iced up. Must have been below zero.
The trip to go there wasn't much fun though as I left Friday morning at 8:00am. I couldn't go through Katoomba because of the freakin' snow and had to back track to Bells Line of Road backway to Lithgow to be stopped again by the coppers. At that stage I was ready to go home but decided to try once more and I followed Putty Road all the way via Singleton then back across to Coona. That was a bloody long day driving but Friday night was sparkling so all forgotten.

Apart from some distortions at the extreme mid/upper left, the stars look quite good; considering the short fl / wide angle of these lenses it is an excellent job that you've done here. I'll be interested to see the plate solve if you can get it to work.

Thanks David.
Some of the edges are still bad as I had no overlap to correct. I stepped the lens down but it seems not enough. I'll try to platesolve this week-end.

Thanks Mike.
Yeah I did the trip with Ross, Louie and Colin. We had a ball and clear skies. Wallaroo's probably a lot closer and more accessible though. Off the freeway so to speak.
