Comet Lovejoy and the Southern Cross

I travelled 20 mins out to darker skies this morning to get a better look at the comet. This shot was taken in a paddock somewhere near Montacute Heights, just east of Adelaide. Unfortunately there was some cloud low on the horizon which obscured the comet's head, but the Milky Way and Crux overhead where still dazzling.

Canon 400D with 18mm lens, ISO 1600, f/3.5, 30 second exposure.
