I was at Melbourne visiting my nephews...
One cold night at Apollo Bay, took out camera aim at milky Way, ETA Carina came up nicely.
Southern Cross and Coal Sack pretty much as they are described.

Nikon d600 35mm f2.8, 30 secs iso 3200

Anywhere that can "see" the Coal sack so obviously is a dream come true....

Actually on a good night you can see it very clearly in Mersing. I remember once Gavin pointing it out to me because I was focussed on "bright stuff...haha
But I guess you can beat Australian skies...no pollution desert clear night skies!

It is actually a sea town south of Australia, fronting Bass Straits and Tasmania

Unfortunately, i only had my 35-70mm f2.8 nikon lens. I would have taken a wider field.
