After six months of nightmarish weather the skies opened up! I am a little rusty processing but still quite happy with this result!

Have to agree with this, you have to take descending exposure times to get a very clean HDR. I take 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 300s ontop of my 480s standards.

@whole junco Thanks, Ill give that a shot!
