This was done at the same time as the widefield Milky Way shot.

14x300s@iso1600 or 1h10 of exposure time. It was a lovely night, never seen the Milky Way so clearly, not since I worked in the jungles of Papua New Guinea when i was a nipper. Now that was dark...

That looks really good. Glad you had a chance to do some imaging. I think I've forgotten how everything goes together :(
