What's the blue dots on the second picture? Just over exposure of the brighter stars?

What was your shutter speed on this by the way?

2nd picture it was so cold out my lens started building up condensation causing halos. I was shooting my 5DmkII, Canon 10mm Fisheye, F2.8, 30 sec exposure, ISO3200

Awesome.

A guy on a fish forum I'm on posted a photo he'd taken over about 12 hours of a nebula. Incredible tracking the sky like that and piecing it together to get the real low light details.

I bet, my dad has a nice mount for shots like that, its motorized and you just enter in the coordinates and it will track as the earth spins to keep it centered.
