African Sky in the Karoo.

Post by mexhunter » Sun Nov 14, 2010 4:57 am

Hello to all:
From this place for other lonely and inhospitable, but with a very dark sky.
It seems that the Magellanic Clouds, with Canopus and Achernar, pull the southern Milky Way for it to rise.
I took 420 pictures but I had to discard the first 30, so they are 390, plus 1 with 45 seconds rest, with the Canon 5D MarkII, with a 15mm f/2.8 lens and ISO 3200.



Thank you very much for watching.
Many greetings
César
