    Amazing, something I have always wanted to do.

    What equipment, how many images, how many darks and how long to process?

      Hi Colin,
      All I use is my camera & a tripod - No telescope, no star tracker, no darks or bias frames & no stacking.
      This was a small pano, maybe 4 pics but I have done up to 16.
      16 is extremely hard on your PC though & that is the reason I got a fisheye - much wider view.
      Don't listen to those who would tell you how hard it is, merely point & shoot & get yourself the free Stellarium program so you know what you got a pic of :)

        Sounds like good advice.

          Superb and what a first post, my IPad has a programme, you point it at the sky and the live image on screen tells you what stars are on it.

            Thanks for your kind words Tony!

            I don't have an ipad but that sounds very interesting.
            I assume you put in co-ordinates or pick your city from a list for that to work?
