This is one advantage of not living in the city centre..

Now, any of you can do this if your sky is dark enough...all the info on the photo, however if you go much longer than 20 seconds, you will start to get star trailing...

Looking foward to this weekend - going to Arkaroola which is a very dark sky..

Wow! What a sky! The number of visible stars is great, exposure is good especially for 1600 iso

Oh! I can't wait until Easter

(going in that direction for a few nights)

Great capture - I just can't get sick of these great star pics! If anything though, I think it may be a little over exposed!

Great stuff big V, I might try this next time I'm away from the big smoke!
As Paul said the number of visible stars it lovely!

This image was taken 35km from Adelaide,showing that you do not have to go to far for dark skies and that Adelaide is not as big as Sydney...

You were right any of us can do it..

Thanks for the tip
