Milkyway - Antares wide field

Single 10 second exposure - dark site in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria. Wish I had my gear with me. This was taken with the camera resting on a baseball cap for stability and perched on the windscreen - bonnet of the car, after driving down a dirt track. It was almost pitch black and the sky absolutely stunning - cold too. It'll go sub-zero tonight for sure.

Camera Fujifilm X Pro1
Lens - 50mm f/1.4
ISO 1600
1:1 ratio in camera - no cropping.
Focus - manual.

Ignoring the fact that the lens is not designed for this type of work, the detail is quite stunning.
