Very nice Alex. Are you using a field flattener for this?

Very nice picture with striking details. I like the general colors and the bright spikes (not invading). Cool !

Nice, looks like you get the same dark band across the bottom as I do with my 30D. Any idea what this is from?

That is a very impressive photo indeed. I love the four point stars. What white balance setting do you prefer and the metering. I've started shooting a few 30 second images and find I jump around between settings. I generally shoot with the sunlight white balance and average metering with an XT. I do enjoy learning from others if you don't mind.
