From dark skies of Gloucester NSW

Hi all.
Spend the weekend at relo's place in Gloucester NSW. Houghy kindly lent me his Polarie startracker. I used my 600D and 50mm lens on it.
Images are
Comet Catinina among heaps of stars. 7x5 mins full size [URL="http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.com.au/Scott/catilinagloucester7x5mins50mmf3.5x6 00d.jpg"]here[/URL . Also full res .crop of comet.

Milky Way area 5x5 mins full size here
Rho Ophiuchus area 13x5 mins, taken on Sat night that was much warmer, full size here
All pics unguided on the Polarie whose polar scope allowed very precise polar alingment. all pics at F3.5 and ISO 800.
