It’s been a pretty late night. First chance I’ve had this year to get out shooting astro with my new Skywatcher #staradventurermini tracking mount.
I initially had a bit of a struggle getting it aligned correctly with the south celestial pole, but as usual perseverance paid dividends.
This image is a five frame median stack of Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex and the Galactic Kiwi. Probably my favorite part of the night sky. There’s so much going on out there in the infinitely vast universe!
Shot from my parent’s deck in Whitianga, using a Sony A7S, Sony 85mm f1.8 & Skywatcher SAM.
5x30sec, f2.8 ISO6400 85mm
