Pretty good images I think. You can kind of make out some pink around the Rosette. And the Andromeda shot is great too. Good advice about the Zoom versus Prime lens's. Is it a matter of focusing that is the problem?

Thank you, i am very happy with the Andromeda image but the Rosette has not been processed very well, that combined with shooting it with a poor lens.Its not so much focus that is the problem, its the optical quality. You will notice in most of the images i have posted on this thread that the star shapes are not round. I think this is the main problem with the zoom lens i used to have. With my new EF200L you can see that the stars are nice and round from corner to corner. You can also see that in my image of M31 which was shot with a 50mm f1.8. Prime lens usually use a much better qualtiy glass aswell. Alot less comatic aberrtion in primes. You pay more but its worth it.
Now onto what you were saying about meteor showers. I think the best way to image them is with some kind of tracking platform. Although, only having my Astrotrac for a couple of months i have not had a chance yet to try and image a meteor shower with it.
But next time there is one i will do the following:
Choose the widest lens i have, in my case 18mm and mount it with my camera on some form of startracker. Focus on whatever constellation the shower is coming from. Use an intervalometre (if using Nikon cameras i believe these are built in on some models?) set my exposure length - say 1 minute - and how many images i want to take - alot! Then you can leave it shooting all night long.
Next day load all images up and if you want and know how to, make a composite so you have a final image with all the meteors you captured that night. If you are any good at light painting you could even layer in a nice foreground. I've seen some killer images done like this.
Hope this helps someone, best of luck.
