I spent a bit longer on this one but it still needs more time;

19 x 7 mins taken with the cooled, modded 450D and 10" f/4.8 Newt;

Thanks for the kind comments

@Digz - It was quite heavily cropped as there wasn't much else in the field of view, it's probably 1/10 of the full frame.

Cooled 450D? Explain... I am intrigued.

I have the camera running in a home made cooler box, if you want more information on building one Gary Honis has extensive documentation here.

Here's a pic of mine during setup;

I was wondering if cooling like that would work, now I know

[Whippy]

That's superb , the dust lane is showing tons of detail.

Wow, thanks for letting me know. It allows me to get a sense of perspective.
