Arrow Jupiter in the Milky Way from the Mangrove Mountain Pony Club

Hi guys

This shot of Jupiter in the Milky Way was taken on the 20th September at the Mangrove Mountain Pony Club during one of our new moon meets.

I didn't get there until 8pm and it'd been so long since I'd done any widefield photography, I didn't capture my first real photon until 9:30pm or so. I also remembered that my serial port on my laptop is broken (stopped working at Nambucca in early July) and so I can't control the camera (long exposures) through ImagesPlus anymore - so I had to use the timer remote for the exposure control and ImagesPlus just downloaded the images after each exposure.

I can't remember how many exposures (it's on the other laptop) but I think it was 12 exposures @ 5 minutes each, ISO800, using the Canon 350D + Sigma 17-70mm lens. 5 darks were used in the calibration (no flats). It was a very warm night after a very warm day.

800px version attached, but please check out the 1200px wide less compressed version in my gallery:

Thanks for looking.
