Looking back in time

[bobbyf (Bob)]

This extreme widefield was taken at last weekends ASSA Astrocamp in the Bendelby Ranges.
It is a single shot, 10 mins @ ISO1600 @ F7.1, using a Nikon D7000 and Sigma 10-20mm lens at 10mm. No guiding.

The camera was mounted to a home made fixture on top of my scope, and with it being sat back a bit, I think makes it look more interesting.

for the comments guys. It is appreciated.

I almost oversaturated it Rod, as it is always a temptation, but i reigned it in at the last minute

Cheers
