Star Trails Over Cataract. This fine photo was captured at one of our observing nights at Cataract Scout Park. The image is aimed at the south showing the trailing of the Southern Cross along the pointers of Centaurus. The long streaks that span the photo are actually aeroplanes, if you look carefully you can see four.
