OK, gradually getting this together.  Here are the images.

This was taken setting up the Equatorial Mount, need to level it and align with Polaris.  The only item of gear I forgot was my little level.  The iPhone did that perfectly well.

As I was doing my first test exposures a car came from the South, behind me.  At that point any cars approaching from the South light up my position for quite a long time, at least a couple of minutes.

All these images were taken with the D800 on my Equatorial Mount using the 16mm f/2.8 ais fisheye.

This was taken @ f/5.6, 120 seconds, ISO1250.  Graham may be interested because the signpost is directing the traveller to Eskdale 3 Miles away.



Longer exposure of 240 seconds, a flash of my head lamp on the signpost reveals the text better, again f/5.6 and ISO1250.



Ambient lighting here, f/5.6, 240 seconds, ISO 1250




Like these three best.
Well done looks like you are well setup now.
