This photograph shows the southern end of the Milky Way including Southern Cross and Eta Carina arcing up from the ground.
The location was Kokerbin Rock in the West Australian Wheatbelt. Kokerbin is a shire reserve with a large granite monolyth that you can camp at. This provides for an excellent astronomy location, weather and fellow campers permitting.

The night was partly cloudy with good long clera spells. I expect that during the course of this image the odd cloud would have floated through. This image has a lack of contrast and detail through the Milky Way due to the conditions of the night.
The Losmandy GM-8 was tracking quite nicely and I can only presume my polar alignment was a fluke as drift was very minimal but I had performed no specific polar alignment.
