Oh, Taras, this is spectacular!
As an amateur astronmer, you have captured the belt of the milky way in a WONDERFUL exposure!

Charlie,
The big dots are caused by halation from the long exposure. As mentioned in the about, I have the camera attached piggyback on a polar aligned telescope which is tracking the sky. One can get similar results with wide-angle lenses by using a barn-door tracker. One can find instructions on the web how to build one.
Double images on the moon may have more to do with internal reflections than anything else. It is a good idea to pre-fire or lock the mirror when shooting such a high contrast object.
Thanks for your comments.
Taras

taras, how beautiful. every time i have a chance to look into a real night sky outside of a city i am magnetically drawn out there. now this also happens with your pictures.
question: (1) how can you get such big dots of the stars with a 50mm lens on a haselblad? (2) how do you rotate the camera for 15 min exposure?
i once tried to capture the bright moon crescent and always ended up with double images.
thank you for your information.
regards
