Love the colours.

Shame about that cloud!
Thanks. Yes just after I got it a lot of cloud set in and I didn't get a 2nd chance. I don't mind the cloud that much.

Thanks.
It was at my dark site observatory near Crookwell NSW and yes its very very low light pollution.

I am glad you like it as I wasn't at first going to publish it being a short image and all. I used the Vixen Polarie and I had just finished drift aligning it so the stars were nice and round at 30 seconds and 180mm focal length which is pushing that system a bit.
