Taken near midnight while on holidays near Wilsons Promontary in Victoria. Looking south toward the south celestial pole. One of the few clear nights we had. I'll do some more of these when I find a good way to stop the dew condensing on the lens...

Awesome shot! How long was the exposure one that one?
10 minutes for this one. Another small issue is all the fishermen who turn up with huge bright torches :) You can see some of the lights on the right hand side.Quote:

Sensational photo!
Can I ask, with what (sorry if I have missed it earlier)?
Meant to ask this before Dave, what lens were you using?
Sigma 10-20 @10mm. I tried with something around 20mm but I found you need to go wide to get maximum stars in.Quote:

Some up in the high country would be good. Bit far for you to drive though...
