I finally got a chance to image this beauty.

It has faded a lot since 6 days ago (when I first saw it visually) but it is still a naked eye object after sunset.

Modified Canon 20D, 14 x 30 seconds (I think it was 30, it may have been 20 secs).

Canon Digital Professional software, Images Plus, Photoshop CS2.

Outside a vegetables paddock (with lots of mosquitoes!) at Schofields NSW Australia (very near Sydney).
