Milky Way Bow.

Milky Way Bow.
Just before I left At 5 AM in the morning I set my camera up as horizontal and took 4 photos of the whole bow with the 14 mm lens. The bow is sitting South to North and the Center Due West . Bottom right hand corner are the lights of Two Rocks, this is just 20 min from home. There are plenty of PIPs that come from my use of a tracker in the night sky.

According to aboriginal Legend this Emu has found his mate and is protecting the Egg, hence the Emu looking out into space watching what comes, bottom left end of the bow.. In summer time the Emu is hunting for a mate hence looking down at the ground

Lucky shot- Do look on black to get the effect of the Spotlights.

The PIP that shows the whole Bay is at 3 am when the bow is very high in the sky This shot is sitting much lower in the sky.
The Spot At Two Rocks. best seen on Black

I do count it as a great experience just to be out at night with just stars as a roof the one thing that I can say is it is very humbling. I also can not believe that every body also can not see it just like this as well. many thanks and some thing that I can you, you would also enjoy.
