That's quite a compliment - thanks Mike. It is quite a different workflow to my CCD astro images and its taken a while to get used to the software I use ( I would like to use Lightroom more but its very similar to the Nikon software and of course the Nikon software is very compatible with the D800E so its too similar. Lightroom though has superior noise control and Nikon's sucks). I am using Noel Carboni's actions mainly and Noise Ninja if absolutely needed (it seems to harsh on DSLR widefields, as I say I prefer Lightroom for that, it seems the best algorithim I have seen so far).

Cheers Marc. I did some scouting around for an upcoming standard Milky Way rising above water type shot this weekend and found a few nice spots. So expect a few of them in the next month. Then I'll really be in the club!

Thanks Peter. The Milky Way at my dark site is truly a natural wonder so its great to capture it in its various moods so to speak over the next several months.

Its a powerful sight for sure. Thanks goes to Luigi for his post about using the Polarie polar scope. I used that and first time it seemed relatively easy. I can get the Polarie very accurately aligned now in less than 8 minutes. I just need to put some tape over my torch as its way too bright to illuminate the polar scope.
Greg.
