    I could finally have another go tonight as the sky cleared and the stars shone through, still some cloud aroud though that stole some of the clarity from this shot...but other than that..I'm quite pleased with it.

    Shot at 20mm it was 60 x 30 seconds exposures, stacked in Photoshop and combined. I set the camera up on the tripod, set up the auto timer. Then went indoors for a cuppa while it did all the work for me. :loll:
