I managed to get some images with my Sony A380. Details are:- 28mm lens at f2.8. Varying exposures from 10 seconds to 15 seconds. This is in the rank amateur class, but that`s me. I enjoyed taking them and the one of Orion rising over the trees was taken at 05.15 hrs .....I had to get up when I saw Orion out of the window. All taken at Bridport in Dorset under VERY dark skies......

I managed to get Delphinus, Sagitta and the Coathanger in one shot ...... I think. At least it looks like it ....
Doug.
They look pretty good for short exposures Doug.
Great shots Doug. The skies must have been really good.
I particularly like the Orion one, and the first one is very slightly starting to show the Milky way I think.
