This set may be the last photos I'll take as I need some normal night-time sleep now! And I've probably taken enough shots at this location!
I have a time lapse from this set that I'll post when I work out how..
#5 shows the ISS passing in a 30 sec exposure
#6 is a stack of 7 images to produce the complete ISS transit
#7 A stack of 100 30sec images. Although the comet can't be seen, it is there! The time lapse I will post is based on an extended set of images from this set.
Here's another shot from last night's shoot (and final??). I had a nice Iridium flare (presumably) pass through the middle of the image too! This is a stack of 2 images because the flare path was spread over both - indicating it probably had a long transit time therefore wouldn't have been a comet since the images are 30 sec each with 3 secs in between them for the camera to write them to the disk etc. These were part of a 2 hour series I took for a timelapse but I've also stacked them into a startrail image.
The is at West Beach, Robe, SA. The lights on the landscape is due to the lighthouse almost directly behind me! Although I had misgivings when I turned up to start imaging but I think it adds to the effect.
Thanks Terry. I tried to make them larger to upload here but must have failed! I have a few up on Redbubble now but need to put the rest up so I can let you know when I do.
Thanks Alex! Why do you like that one over the rest? I can never pick the best one myself and never know what to enter into comps!
It was quickly processed too so I can tidy it up more yet, plus the small file size limit on here don't do many of the photo we put up justice.
So when are we seeing more pf your images Alex? We're all patiently waiting!

It looks like you guys worked it out! I need to update my signature don't I!
I 'upgraded' to a D7000 from a D700 because I couldn't use the full capability of the FX body with the lenses I had and couldn't afford to upgrade them yet. Plus the D7000 has most of the features of the D700 with some extra, better features etc, and just not FX. The noise at high ISO is excellent and even better with the in-camera high ISO NR.

Yeah, I want to get myself a D7000. I've got a little D3000 which does me fine, but I'd like to have the little extra grunt to do some things justice. In any case I'd like another camera anyway!!!
Yes I can highly recommend it! As you can see from my comet images it does them pretty well I reckon! I do need a really fast lens though. Phil, Alex et al that have them produce some really great sharp and bright shots...

At Garricks Camera House, they've got a 50mm, f/1.4 G lens for $779 and a 35mm, f/1.8 G lens for $349. They also have a 50mm, f/1.8 G lens for $299. All Nikkors.
Love the whole lot. #6 at sunset is not often seen. Terrific stuff.
