Thanks Liz and Bart for your comments. Yes Liz, it is a wonderful spot to live, I find it very relaxing.

Bart, your images are a bit big for me to see on the small laptop screen, even so they show the milkyway well with its dark lanes and nebula. For simple tracking, if you want, you could knock up a barndoor mount. There are plenty on the net and easy to make. So that you could expose for longer.

All the best.

Thank you Lester, and shall dig a bit deeper. I have seen many a post about this 'barndoor' thingymajig. Never thought that this would be a tool for this job.
Thanx

Thanks Ray, yes you are not far away from here as the crow flies. So you would recognise the clouds.
