Taken with my Samyang Lens 135mm and Atik460EX in HaRGB.
Been a bit of a mission as:
a) Next door's tree is in the way for half the night.
b) I get a small window between it re-emerging and then disappearing behind the final clump of trees
c) Late in the season was disappearing earlier and earlier each night.
d) Managed very little data what with it being a mosaic (as huge) and it disappearing early.
e) The ICE sftware (image composite Editor) I use for making mosaics seems to have disappeared from the internet, so had to make the mosaic manually in Photoshop.
So only 1 hour each panel (little RGB) = 2 hours.

Well done Carole
Nice image considering all the difficulties- I have trees in the way too
Thanks Dave, yes latterly during all these clear nights, I was imaging for less and less each night, until the last night I only managed 20 minutes before the trees encroached. Didn't want to wait another year to complete it if I could get something out of it. Obviously in an ideal world I would have got much more data.
