+Not a great image, looking South/West - You can just about make out Deneb (Cygnus) descending below the tree line here. Quite a noisy image - not the best, though looking very closely you can barely make out the tiny form of the Andromeda galaxy at the upper left corner.

+=== Conclusion ===
+Reducing ISO to 800 and increasing exposure didn't work too well; also the sky wasn't as clear as I thought, with the main tree-line sequence particularly plagued by thin cloud. Next time I'll increase the ISO back up again and reduce the exposures back to 60-120 seconds, with more exposures if possible.
+I have a possible location that I can take images from that is within 10 minutes walking distance from the house... it //should// be subject to less light polution - which, along with the very high angle I need to image from in the garden, is one of the biggest problems here. I'm aiming to try it out the next available (clear skies, dry ground [Ha! In Winter, in the UK?] weekend.
