We stayed a few nights in the beautiful Warrumbungle National Park in NSW where the world famous Siding Spring Observatory is located. While camping in the park in a very cold -6 degrees, I managed to get some really lovely images of the night sky with just my camera and lenses on a tripod. The sky was just so amazingly beautiful, diamonds in the sky beautiful :-)
This image is of the South Celestial Pole above the trees, to the right of the image that trailing smudge is associated with the stars in the Milky Way where the Southern Cross (Crux) is going down to the west.
This is just a one image with an exposure time of 7314 seconds (2hours) which included another 2 hour in camera dark frame. I used a Canon 700D camera and a Sigma 10-20mm lens set at 11mm and f4.5, the ISO was 200.
