This was my meager effort for the 17th Snake Valley camp. While aeroplanes weren't flying through the FOV, clouds were pesky. A few dark frames were taken between clear patches.

Unguided.

Image was taken with a cooled Canon 1000D at a regulated -5C, but is only 19 frames at 3 mins iso800, 200mm 1.6crop factor, f5.7.

Camera is full spectrum mod with an Astronomik clip-in UV/IR filter.

Processed in Pixinsight - manually.

Second image post processing in StarTools

View from a distance - was processed on a laptop, so it might look a little overdone on a good screen.
