A very quick process of last night's image (21 April 2011) - I've had lots of other things to do today.
Modified Canon 350D on Tak Epsilon 180ED with IR/UV filter.
28 x 5min at ISO 800.
Still some background gradients to remove and some sharpening to do.

Terrible result Mark - just kidding ;) It's starting to look impressive as usual, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished article.
That is a wonderful image Mark, looks like you have a good site there :-D
