These two images were taken with a 30 sec exposure, no shutter delay, no mirror lockup, no remote cable release, no live view previewing. Finger on the shutter, arm draped on the lens, Feisol CT3472, Arca-Swiss Z1 ball head. Pretty solid platform though hardly monumental. The tripod collar on the lens is close to useless, which is why I stabilize the lens with my left hand/arm draped over the lens. In the second image you can see star trails.
Why do you feel the need to post your images as responses to all threads? You must be horribly insecure or in desperate need for validation of some sort. Geesus.
