I took this image about 8 weeks ago when Sagittarius was at the zenith.

8 x 60 second, ISO 1600, Nikon D70, F4.5 28mm lens, piggybacked on a Meade LX90.

Dark sky site, 2500 feet in NSW Australia.

Beautiful shot Greg! Did you use a wedge and guide the shot, or just altaz piggyback with adjustment for rotation in the processing?
