Ground Control to Major Tom

With a bright half moon in the sky, this was supposed to be a reconnaissance mission to scope out the well-known Warkworth Radio Telescopes outside Auckland for a future astro outing. But the Milky Way and the telescope were lined up just so well, couldn't resist taking some shots. With the moon low behind me, the final result turned out not too bad.

This is a stack of 15 frames (to reduce noise).
