Thanks.....the shot was a 2 min exposure @1600iso using a 17mm nikkor lens on a fixed tripod directed at scorpius around 7.00pm. The D70 was used overtime during the day so i just managed toi get one shot before the battery went unfortunately . Kicking myself for not bringing the gear because conditions were perfect , would have been great to just get another minute on the shot but as you can see theres trailing evident on the 2 minute exposure . Around 6.00pm it was cloudy still but half hour later it had vanished , perfect views for tracing the milky way from scorpius to canis major setting in the west.We had vibrate celebrations going on for the West Coast eagles win so i had to be sneaky to enjoy the view
next time ill be packing the full kit even if its snowing
