I love Instagram, although getting a bit p***ed off with people who 'like' a photo but their profile shows them 'looking for 'love SEXXX love' etc. Unless I'm that irresistible, in which case, I'm flattered a I get around two a week... PETERSTEELE

Many thanks - nice to get something free for a change!

Took them about 10 days but they did refund it eventually

The only issue I had (minor one) was it took about 10 days for them to refund the FedEx invoice for 30 something quid. And the slow email response...

Yes, think it was. Just good (or bad) luck, depending on your point of view...

Tried tweaking the white balance a bit more on a second shot. Not sure if the object in the middle going from left to right is an aircraft or a meteorite...

Anybody want the original file to see if they can tweak it better, I'll send it to you. It was really just a first test of the new lens, and the only cloudless night we have had in ages!

Tried a photo of the Milky Way for the first time last night on a not very dark night with lots of light pollution. Didn't get much as I suspected, but then came across this video on Youtube - View: http://youtu.be/J1Kfr8RG3zM I had some shots where I had "exposed to the right" on my Canon...

Many thanks for the advice, I'm take a look.

Which tripod do you use? I'm looking at replacing my old Velbon.

Can anybody recommend a decent budget tripod for Astrophotography? I have an old Velbon VE-3C which ways as much as the moon and doesn't have a quick release head, so looking to replace it.
