I can see why you decided to stop over Anton - what fantastic scenery! Love the lighting & 'moody' feel to that penultimate shot with the boats in the mist & also that spectacular second shot with the stars against the moonlit mountains. Incidentally, the starfield in that second shot looks very familiar as I've used it several times (in vain so far) to 'star hop' to the large but faint Seagull nebula (IC2177). You've caught some lovely open clusters in there including my favourite M41 (below & slightly to the left of dazzling Sirius) and M46 & M47 over towards the left of the image.

Sadly all of these clusters never rise very high in the sky for us 'northerners'.
