Magellanic Clouds in Moonlight

Me at the photo telescope setting up a shot in the moonlight of a setting waxing Moon, December 17, 2012 at Timor Cottage, Coonabarabran, Australia with the Magellanic Clouds high in the south. The sky is blue with moonlight. The South Celestial Pole is above the house, below the Clouds. A single 1m15s exposure at f/4 with the Canon 60Da at ISO 3200. This is one frame of 314 for a time-lapse of the circumpolar stars.
