Description

The Sothern Cross (Crux) taken from a Bortle Class 1-2 in WA Margaret River region. Twenty minutes of exposure on a Canon 135mm and Cano Ra taken at f/2.0 with 40 30 second exposures . This was an opportunistic photo taken when the clouds parted for an hour or so on a moonless night. I didn't have an intervalometer so used the max camera exposure time of 30 seconds. There were a few passing high clouds which illuminated the brightest stars, and I kept these in the stack as I liked the extra glow effect.
