Tasmania Star Trail

This is the first time I have seen this many stars.
A perfectly clear night on a hill in Tasmania and you have the perfect conditions for a star filled sky.

This is a 40min exposure,
the blue cloudy looking thing is the milky way.

Edit;
For the curious: f/4.0, Shutter 2507.0seconds, ISO 100, 17mm
