Standing in Nolan River in the middle of the night photographing the Milky Way. We have a lot of clear sky here in the summer so I try to go photograph the Milky Way.

Looks like an alien rock has landed.. or at least I heard some 'whispers'

Very nice Darren!!

Wow, really nice. Would you be willing to share your settings? I have yet to get a decent star image. I have to ask what is the red object?
Howard, thanks. I was here in May when the river was 30' deep from a flash flooding.
LeRoy,
I generally these settings:
Canon 5D2 with 14mm or my Sony NEX6 with fisheye
ISO 6400, 30 seconds, f/2.8
This shot though was with my new Sony A7S which I got specifically for nights and I was using ISO 25,600 for 20 seconds at f/2.8.
The light painting is from a single red led on my headlamp.
Give it a try sometime
