[Sconesbie (Scott)]

Tuesday night in Northern Tas was absolutely sensational (cold though). I decided to go for a drive about 10 minutes away from home where there were no lights. The sky was as black as I have ever seen it. Crystal clear and absolutely superb.

I found a road to pull up on and start having a go. A horse in the paddock frightened the life out of me.

Anyway, the result is as you can see.

I am still learning how to take star photos but I quite like these ones. Any assistance in how I can make them better is appreciated. Please use English terms only!!

Camera is Pentax KM. ISO 3200 (tried 1600 but no good), F3.5 and 30 seconds.
