Thanks all for the comments and thoughts.
Mike, all the sequence runs at 16 fps, so that might lead to one of the sequences feeling a little long. for 1428 frames to run at 30fps the entire clip would run for only 48 seconds. I will do some experimenting and see what I can come up with though.
I have experimented with the panning and found that 30 degrees and hour gives the right speed when going from right to left but when panning from left to right is looks a little jerky but I really think it is just a tiny bit like that and hardly noticable. I will look into using a panning rate fo 20 degrees and hour for future projects and then maybe running at a faster frame rate.
Graeme the tree was a great find and I wish I had more time there before moon rise.
Marc appreciate the PM and thanks for the suggestions.
Steve I sold my D3 so I am now back to one body (I do like Ron's comment
) but would love to have two D4's with a 14-24 on each running back to back for several hours, I can think of several places where this would work well.
