Crows Nest Milky Way

Hi all,

I was camping at Crows Nest National Park (north of Toowoomba) for a couple of nights last weekend. It was cloudy with patchy drizzle much of the time, but when I stuck my head out of the tent just at the beginning of astronomical twilight (4:30am) on Sunday morning I was greeted by the beautiful Milky Way overhead. Just had time to put the camera on the tripod and grab a shot before the dawn light intervened. And then it was drizzling again by 6:30 am!

Single 30 sec exposure with 50D and Tokina 11-16mm at 11mm, f/2.8 and 3200 iso.

Cheers,
Stephen
