Here are a few snaps taken last night at the ASNSW dark sky site at Wiruna. This is the first time I have been out observing since January due to the lousy weekend weather since (yes, there is lousy astro weather here too and going without for a few months is pretty common :-( ) Still, shivering-cold last night in the tent.

Scorpio rising

Taken with a Canon 7D and Tokina 11-16mm and Polarie. The sky was getting pretty murky during this shot but I think the bloated stars through the haze look nicer. The two bright stars at the top are Alpha and B Centauri.
