I braved the cold and wind in Sydney to get this at around 3:30 this morning.
I can't believe how bright it is, easily visible naked eye even from the Eastern Subs
Taken with my 5DmkII + 40mm STM, 113x10sec @ISO3200 & f2.8

P.S. I just got a new lens today (Canon 28mm f1.8) so I'll be getting up at 3 again to get an even wider field shot!
