Crux to Carina, from Stockport SA

Here's my first attempt at a nightscape (really more of a wide-field starscape), covering the Milky Way from Crux through to Carina.

Taken at Stockport, SA, on Saturday 3rd May at around 9pm.

Images captured with a Sony Alpha NEX-3 DSLR, based on 22 x 25 second exposures at ISO 1600 and f/3.5 (18 mm lens). The camera was piggybacked on my C8 (on an alt-az mount), to avoid star trails.

Stacked in DSS, processed in Startools, final touches in Paint.NET.
