Equipment Details:

Canon EOS M100
10mm, f2. 0
30s@ISO1600

Post-processing Details:

Fisheye image cropped to 40mm lens equivalent.

Image Details:

The street lamp does not detract from the beauty of the Southern Milky Way between Centaurus and the Southern Cross.
The Hyper-Focus Distance of my fisheye lens is 4ft. Meaning, everything from 2ft to infinity is in focus.
The HFD of my 40mm lens is 58ft at this aperture! The foreground foliage would be out of focus and the bright light would make proper exposure impossible with a single image.
I'm a big fan of cropping fisheye images.
