Southern Cross from Wiruna

[Irish stargazer (John)]

This is a single frame shot of the Southern Cross taken from Wiruna in January. Canon 7d and 24-105L lens at F4. This is a three minute exposure with noise reduction on tracked on a Polarie. I thought it was a fitting picture given it is Australia Day today.

Awesome shot. The coal sack came out very well too. The skies must have been dark!
