A fig tree on the Maleny Trail under the stars. You can just make out the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, Canopus and Orion among the bright sky of a half moon.

South Pole
The south celestial pole becomes evident in this star trail image. The large and small Magellanic Clouds can also be seen. This is approximately 15 minutes of exposure time. If you look very closely just to the right of the celestial pole you will notice a distinctly green 'star trail' (nearly vertical). That is actually comet Lemmon (C/2012 F6). Thanks to Len for finding this one for me.
