I just couldn't help myself !
OMG ..... :eyepop: I might be getting the AstroPhotography bug !
Anyhow here are a few shots from this morning, this time at 100iso setting.
A bit better than 400 iso on my Canon S2-IS I think.
The first a close up the second obviously a wide field.

I wish I could have seen this but it's raining in Brisbane :(

Thanks heaps for posting some views of the event!

Thanks Rob and Eric
Its not often that I come up with a Photo I think is worthy of posting.
I keep being surprised by what my little camera will do !
