The Arch in Devil's Coach House, a vast open-ended chamber in the Jenolan caves.
The weather was mostly clear and despite the cold temperatures minimum 1 deg cel, I didn't have any issues with dew on the lenses. I had some disposable warm packs just in case to sticky tape around the lens in the event that it did dew up. I've read this works although I haven't tested it yet.
This was pretty much the shot I'd been wanting to take all night, the Milky Way was positioned just where I wanted it, pure dumb luck on my behalf.
Very nice indeed Carlos. Great shot. I can personally attest to the effectiveness of those disposable heat packs. Never really been an issue for me at home but boy, they have been a lifesaver down here in Tas. If I was doing an all night timelapse shoot I would hook up my dew heater strap but if you are moving about taken single night sky shots, that is impractical, and those pads work brilliantly.
Wow! You do get around to get your shots. Top shot as usual. Really cool.
Eskerrik asko Marc! Yes it's a good thing I love driving oh and that I have a trusting wife

Thanks Greg! I read about it in the 'Seeing the Unseen' ebook by Alister Ben which you recommend in your FAQ's, very handy thank you!

Have you got links to purchase the heat pads online?

Thanks Humayun! I bought them in a mountaineering store on Kent St in Sydney, they're $2 for a pair. Let me know how you go online otherwise I'm happy to pick some up for you and post them at cost price
