Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. Answers to a few of the questions:

Dom - they are full frame but now that you point it out - the big dipper 
seems too big to be a 16mm shot but that was the lens I used and it is 
still on the camera. Hmmm. I resized the images in PS but retained the 
aspect ratio so they should not be cropped. I'll have to ponder this 
further.

John - no colours visible naked eye - probably the bright band nearest 
the horizon had a greenish tint but it wasn't striking. I blew a lot of 
frames thinking it would not ever get going then with about six frames 
left in the camera it took off. Luckily though it subsided as I was 
taking the last frame so I was able to go to bed and get up somewhat 
ready for work.
