A 30 second exposure of Sgr-Sco-Lib over the Paros-Antiparos channel in the Aegean. Captured with the EOS 450D and the 18-55 mm lens. This was meant to be part of another 360 degree panorama but many of the exposures have been ruined by camera shake. Lesson learned: bring a laptop to preview images!

I just love Astrometry - its a wonderful tool

Great image - it came out very well - I especially like the way the lights of the town aren't completely blowing out the image
