The Great Dog
-
Hi there everyone
Last night I was out at the Sugarloaf car park with a group of namateur astronomers. I took some fixed tripod images of the night sky and I believe this is the best of the bunch, an image of Canis Major, the Great Dog, a little bit of Orion can be seen to the upper right.
This was a 30 second exposure at f/4 and ISO 1600, a 17-85mm Canon lens wide open. I cropped a little of the bottom and removed some horrible telegraph poles in Photoshop.
C&Cs welcome and thanks for looking.
The bright star in the image is Sirius, also called the Dog Star, and it is the brightest star in the night sky.

Excellent Paul, was trying the same thing myself the other night,
was wondering what the big star was!!
