That's a beut!

My guess is you've a nice dark sky, If I tried that all I'd get is an orange glow.

Many thanks guys! It took quite a bit of fiddling around mostly with ISO and timing in Bulb mode to achieve this and no dark or bias frames used at all did all the PP in PS. Quite a thrill to get the HorseHead and flame!

So lucky to have a nice dark place right across the street by the Ocean here all i had was some light from the fishing fleets but they proved not to be a problem at all cannot wait to get out there again more to come Cheers!
