Description

This was one of my test targets during my last trip to rural Victoria. The Milky Way core season is nearly over, but I managed to get this shot of yet another stunning part of the sky.

The amount of total exposure time is really low, less than 30 minutes. I wasn't expecting much and was really surprised with the result.
