Fabulously clear night, no moon, dark site in NSW Australia, almost zero light pollution, stunning views of Milky Way from horizon to horizon through the zenith. Stayed up all night imaging with Nexstar 11 and D70 about 16 degrees C - cool, but not cold.

Here's one of those shots.

Centaurus A galaxy. 7 x 45 seconds, ISO 1600, Images Plus and Nikon Capture editor. Really needs say 20 x 45 but it turned out not too bad.

Clear Skies,

Greg.
