So, Polaris does not move since it is In line with Earth's North pole.
Cassiopeia was one of the other Constellations that I got, as well as the Andromeda Galaxy just to the South, although I think I'd need your kit to get a decent shot of that DJ

Fantastic photos. it reminds me of the time some years ago now when I sat outside watching the sky. The moon was waxing and waining ,clouds scudding across the night sky and actually saw a shooting star. As I sat there and pondered on the marvels of the universe I realised it was about time I got a roof fitted to the outside toilet.

Well I feel inspired to pop outside the door on the next clear night - best remember to disable the security light first.
Goinging to Spain in about a month and there will be no light polution there so will have a try there too, fingers crossed I don't fall down the mountain side
