Raining Stars - a photo on Flickriver

Raining Stars

            The photo above is a single 1258 second exposure (~20 minutes) with the camera oriented to the southwestern sky. I had initially planned to do a 30 minute exposure, but somebody decided to switch on their brights behind me -- I had to kill the shutter.

You can see a hint of the southern arm of the Milky Way band. You also see the the celestial equator, where the streaks start to go in opposite directions.

Tonight is prime for star trail shooting, but I'm here, stuck processing old photos.
