Description

This image was taken the first night at the South Pacific Star Party, held each year at "Wiruna", a dark sky property owned and managed by the Astronomical Society of New South Wales. My Polar alignment was only marginal and stars were not round to the edge of frame so this is around a 50% crop. The real issue this year was really heavy dew which rapidly overcame most preventative measures.
