Milkyway Rises

[Meru (Michael)]

Hi all,

Had some beautiful summer skies in Kinglake this weekend and got this image whilst imaging with the 'scope. Single 36MP image taken with 30sec, ISO3200, 16mm @ f/4. There was actually a fair bit of pollution than usual but the stars still shone through the LP in the bottom right is from Melbourne's suburbia.

Dark sky fever is a dangerous and addictive thing! John really should give us prior notice
