Hi all
This image was taken this morning, between 2am and 5:30am. It's 20 x 10 minute exposures looking towards the East over the Pacific Ocean, from our Planetary Imaging camp at Nambucca Heads, NSW.
Canon 350D on a fixed tripod, 20x 10 minute exposures, f/3.2 with a 17-70mm sigma lens @ 17mm, ISO200. 1 dark. Stacked in startrails.de.
Orion can be seen rising in the middle of the picture. Taurus and the Pleiades are over on the left, and Mercury has just risen above the horizon below Taurus.
A 1200px wide version can be seen on my gallery:

Thanks for looking.
