Milky Way from Coonabarabran

[CoolhandJo]

Managed to make my way to Coonabarabran and shot this image last night. Big thanks to Jeff theodog for hosting us at his incredible property!

100 x 30sec is 3200 untracked with canon 500d unmodded.

Thanks

Nice, and very jealous

A pleasure to have hosted you and your son for a night of observation and astronomy discussion.:thumbsup:

Like everybody should have 15 minutes of fame, everybody deserves at least one night under good dark skies.

Looks like the imaging went well, despite the atmospheric "glow".

Unfortunately though, it looks like the Zodiacal light is going to put the deep Milky Way project on hold for a little while.:)

Thanks Mary! A Wide angle lens and a very Dark sky helps a lot!!
