Hello all, this is my first post on here although I joined quite a while ago.

I captured this at the SPSP 2014 between the clouds.

It is 19 x 2minute exposures @ ISO 5000
Canon 6D
24-70 f2.8 @ f4, 50mm
Astrotrac TT320X-AG.

I also noticed that i managed to capture NGC 4945 which was an added surprise!

Very nice. Love the plethora of stars and dark lanes.

Thanks! I found it a little amusing how under LP you do not get enough stars and under very dark skies you get almost too many :p
