Took a Nikon 14-24 f2.8 out for a more rigorous test. So far I am impressed.
I took two seven shot panos of Camel Rock, one for foreground at 60 sec, f2.8 and ISO 4000, second for sky at 15sec, f2.8 and ISO 6400. Processed in PhotoNinja, MS ICE and finished/combined on GIMP. Pano takes in about 200 degrees end to end. Looking closely you can see the Lagoon Nebula, the Eagle Nebula, Jupiter, Saturn all very near Sagittarius and the Andromeda Galaxy just above and right of the fence post and above the clouds.

Fine creation - but IMO, you left testing the lens when you dove into the software.

Thank you, I am planning to repeat this with the Rokinon 14mm f2.8 when the roads dry out a bit. I think it will be a good head to head comparison.

What you have is beautiful, but I would loose the foreground and shoot more of the sky for this kind of shot.

Great work. I would crop out or ,clone out the car on the left if it were my pic. A lot of the time I never see things like that until I print large. Really p*#^ me off.

Wow! I'm impressed. As mentioned, I would park the car behind the camera for the next photo. But again, Wow!
