Another great Pano Greg. I'm getting some serious dark skies withdrawal symptoms now thanks to you.

Great stuff Greg. Interesting at 14mm, that's for sure. I have a 7.5mm coming this week for the OM-D, which equates to 15mm @35mm, so I'm aching to se what it gives me. Certainly not as fast, at f/3.5, but we'll see what it's like on the Polarie.

Thanks Rick. Its a great camera. I am still learning how to master it really. Its quite a world in itself. I imagine 5D3 would be also.

Reminds me of driving through Louisiana and it looked very much like NSW but there were coyotes howling.

Nice shot. I like the colour. Bit noisy being only one 30s exposure, although it is low noise considering it is just one 30s exposure.

Its also quite downsampled being part of a jpeg time lapse. So I can reshoot this one next time in RAW. I should have my Polarie by then and do longer as well.

There is a sequence in the time lapse I posted in the Nightscapes forum of the magellanic Clouds spinning around the SCP. Its my favourite bit. I think I'll do another one of those. It may also help those who do polar aligning identify where the SCP is as its graphically shows where it is.

Greg.
