    That's brilliant Rob. I love a starry night and sometimes go outside just to look at them. There's no chance I could ever take the pics though. Don't have the equipment or know how.

    When I was a child I thought the stars were holes in the sky and the light was shining through from heaven :)

    Rob. What do you use for the piccies?:scratch: I use 35mm film with an exposure time of 20secs, any longer than that and I tend to get "tracking". Great when you're getting piccies of the Pole Star but rubbish when you're trying to get piccies of constellations.:)
