Milky Way Wide Field

Hi all, i decided to drive to a darker site after work this morning.

It was clear here in the suburbs, so i loaded the car up with all my gear and took off.

I had no real destination, i just headed Nth Westish down the highway.

I ended up just East of Ballarat, around 30kms, it was an old fishing spot i used to go, and thought it would provide me with the darker skies i was looking for.

Well as might be expected, as soon as i arrived the clouds rolled in and light rain began to fall

It cleared for a few minutes, just long enough for me to plonk the 350 on the car roof and get this 58 second image.

ISO 1600, Av 4.0, 10mm

So after a 200km round trip, at least i got one pic

It has turned out not bad, the glow on the right is Ken's security light for his EQ mount, could you turn it off next time please Ken
