this rain is causing me to try different things..
First I again thank JA for his tireless input to assist me to use this lens particularly to get it to manual focus.

so gear..Nikon D5500, 18/55 mm Lens on a tripod..no tracking..
F4 ...and 5 second subs at 25600 iso...why? at first I set the iso so high to help frame my shot but I just had the feeling it was going to cloud over and rain...so given I see all this as experimental I took 85 subs at 25600 iso just to see what would come from such a high iso...40 darks no flats or bias
so the stack resulted in a reasonable image with a decent histogram.
So thru Startools and Photoshop provided the result you can now see.

I have two more in the oven but the sky became misty so dont hold your breath they dont look very hopeful
