so after the sun went down I wanted to take a photo of star trails ! well having never used the Fantastic D800 !! I tried to work it out :mad: but I could not! so good 'ol @scottmurray let me know that without a thingy to remotely keep the shutter open in bulb mode all I could do was stacking a lot of shots and as it was getting late and I needed to be up at 5:00am to start my trip back to Adelaide I just had a little play! This is the Southern Cross, on the left at the lower left are two brighter stars one higher than the other, and the Cross is a little higher, the Southern Cross is on the Australian flag!

Well I left Coober Pedy about 5:45am and I got 180km out of town when the sun stared to rise! I shot it portrait to get the stars at the top in!
