Starlight

Although not at all familiar with southern hemisphere skies, I am familiar with waiting for Polaris to show in the northern hemisphere to align a telescope's mount with just as it starts to get dark enough to see it. Normally a number of other stars show first. This picture totally brings that to mind.

Looks like the Southern Cross to me, with the pointer sisters (as we called them as kids) being the prominent stars?

If that is the case, you are basically pointing due south.

Not bad for the time of the day/night and a slowish zoom lens as well.
