Takahashi FSQ106N, Canon 20D modified with Baader UV/IR cut filter.
About 12 x 60 seconds. My backyard in Sydney.

The FSQ is a beautiful scope. A real Takahashi masterpiece.

Greg.

Greg,
I had to squint when I opened that image--talk about capturing stars! (And processing them down to the core.)
Wonderful,
