Some recent images I've taken at my new dark-sky site in southern Tasmania.
I'm still experimenting (and not going deep, in terms of integration time or subexposure length) because I'm biding my time whilst I get my observatory built and then get my mount etc. permanently set up. I've concluded that a fixed setup is really needed in these fickle Tassie weather conditions, as these skies have a habit of changing from great to terrible, and back again, at a moment's notice!
Attached are as follows (details and higher rez in Astrobin links):
-- Carina-Vela-Centaurus-Musca region (unmodded Sony NEX-3 DSLR with 18mm lens): http://www.astrobin.com/164129/
-- LMC (Sony NEX-3 DSLR with 55mm lens): http://www.astrobin.com/156460/C/
-- Tarantula Nebula (Orion StarShoot G3 + ED80T): http://www.astrobin.com/139362/B/
-- Omega Cen (ZWO ASI120MM + ED80T): http://www.astrobin.com/162187/B/
