Fujinon XF 18mm f2.0 Astrophotography

I've just received my second XF lens 18mm f2.0 and I'm really happy with it.

My first Astro shots with this lens were on our last holiday to Fitzroy Island.
The skies are quite dark here so I had a go at some "Milky Way" shots.

The following is a composite of three images. I only had my "Gorilla Pod" so it was a bit difficult being so low to the ground, next time I’ll take a bigger tripod with some kind of panorama head.



Milky Way camera pointed straight up. Three image panorama. 3200asa 15sec f2.2


The second shot is just a single frame with some post process.
