This animated Gif was made from a set of 80 images taken 30 secs apart (total time 40mins).
The southern cross, pointers (alpha and Beta centauri) and the moon is visible.
Also seen are various planes trails and activity in the car boot on the right.
The animation will only work in original size and is a large file. You can download the
animated gif if you wish for personal viewing. The lens fogged up towards the end and
caused the flare.
