Thanks Mark and Philip. I use an ISO 800 on all of my images. It is something I was doing since I started this whole AP thing and I have a Dark library of about 1,000 Darks of varying exposures and temps. Oh and a new UPDATE.

Very nice Steve! Loving the FOV.

Too cool Steve, this would make a great back lit print in the man cave

Thanks Trevor. But there is....AN UPDATE! This time I added 30 sec subs to tame the Trap.

Love the FOV Steve, I just started experimenting with DSLR...whole diff world from CCD. 6.5 hours? Impresssive what ISO?

For some reason this is not posting on the main page...so....BUMP! I like the wide FOV but living within 40 miles of Gainesville airport and a couple of local airport communities I get quite the "lazer show" in my subs. One good thing about airplanes in subs is I was able to pull one out from last year and convinced the kids it was Santa Clause this past Christmas .
