Pony Club at Night-Magellanic clouds

[Irish stargazer (John)]

Canon 7D and Tokina 11-16mm lens at F2.8 on static tripod at ISO 1600.
Composite of 8 x 20 second frames with dark subtraction
The skyglow is Sydney to the south.
Quite happy with the Tokina lens as it captures a very wide field even when fully open.

Ross.

Thanks everyone.
It is only the sky to the south that has any significant skyglow at the PC. This shot taken the same night taken to the North West

This is the Orion region with 10 second shots. easily dark enough to pick out the horsehead and a hint of Barnards loop. Again, taken on the same evening.
