Finally! I got a clear night with no moon, no clouds, and no work the next day!! I stayed out until around 2am and shot a range of things I have been meaning to experiment with.

First cab off the rank - the milky way, around 4 minutes using an EQ6 pro mount under my camera to track the stars for the duration.

That's a very nice image, Baz

What's the camera Baz?

Thanks everyone! Mike it was the 5D MK II.

Mac, no more subs mate. I wasn't out there to do that kind of work this time, I just shot one while I was waiting for the Milky Way to move into position behind a select foreground. Maybe next time.  :D
