Thanks. I'm only 6 months into the hobby so while I have learnt a few lessons I am far from proficient. At least the initial results are encouraging. There is a very good beginners astro photography forum at www.cloudynights.com those guys really know their stuff.

Very cool shots, how do you avoid the stars streaking from the rotation of the earth?  Do you have one of those devices that move the camera to compensate?  I've tinkered around with astrophotography using my Rokinon 12mm f/2 but without a means to compensate for rotation I find that anything over about 20 seconds results in noticeably elongated stars.
