Thanks both. I will give hugin a try as its free and seems to have good reviews.

Its got to be better than what I used.

Can anyone recommend a software to stitch together panorama images. The one I used was a free download but it lost so much detail and sharpness that I am not happy with the result. I don't know if this is the particular software or just the nature of the beast with panorama. Advice appreciated. Sam

Hi Mike,

I enjoy the infrared images you produce, I loved the trees you had in the annual exhibition.

How do you do these images? Do you have special dedicated camera or some kind of add on for your regular kit?

I'm in. Sounds fun.

Although it will depend on when I can get my camera fixed, I can only use auto at the moment or in manual as long as the shot requires f18 and 1/200.

Thanks Mike. Some great tips there, I look forward to putting these into action on my next trip.

Hi Mike. I think this is a great shot. Converting to black and white reduces any colour distractions in the image and makes the person more important. Did you ask his permission to photograph beforehand?

Sam.

Hi, what length exposure did you need to use to get that level of star detail and the milky way? Thanks.
