Nilgen Look out

This is a real southern privelage. Great work

Thank you Ko it was nice to finally get cloud free and go for a drive. result is very different to the other side of the River and the foothills. will have to go back more south of the city.

Wonderful Sky and stars.

Years ago we made a night shot:



This was at the Outback: Glen Helen, West Mecdonell National Park

A great result that will be forever remembered. A place I would love to go as there is so much you can get in the real out back. May I suggest that the photo if you reedit it a bring up the exposure you will see more detail. you are looking at this part of the Milky way



but stars suggest its not an eastern bow(as above) but in a western alignment so the stars are flipped over (compare the tip of Scorpios tail, bottom your shot, mine just next to tallest tree). hope this helps you.

Fabulous, Steve. We are so lucky in Oz to have so many places unaffected by extreme light pollution

when you consider I am 1Hour from home which is the northern end of the city and Milky way sits East to west this time of year,so right above Perth. the result for all that pollution is quite remarkable, I am learning a out about this side of Perth, not as good for astro shots as the southern side.

Another great bow Steve. You have used the city lights as a centre of interest to the bow itself. Great work indeed. Not many of these to be seen here in Britain at the moment!

Cheers, Herb

Thanks other than today this was not possible as the back part of the bow was not going together. Not sure why but today's updated PTGui it all fell into place.. that way you can see grandson in the shot as well. Not many here with all the clouds of late either. a shot that shows life to be just the same but nights are starting to get quite cool.

Wonderful!!!

many thanks It was great to get out into the night after all the clouds .

Brilliant work Steve.. your skill and dedication are evident....
Cheers from - Dj..

Thank You DJ I will take that compliment it means all the years before have not gone to waste. A ll the very best from down under.

An amazing image, I hope you have a HFF and a good weekend Steve

Thank you I know its a busy one HFF to you as well from OZ.

Fantastic images and wonderful work Steve,

A night I enjoyed getting back to basics HFF and have a great weekend.

Wonderful

My kind of shot, Many thanks.

A fabulous shot Steve. That is quite an amazing sight. Love it. HFF and have a good weekend

Its a normal sight out in the dark, part of why I love WA even though our land and climate do not make great photos. HFF from the West

Wonderful images!

HFF to you, Steve.

HFF and hope your weekend is a good one.

Update:

HFF, have a great weekend.

Many thanks a very HFF to you as well and hope you dont get a weekend like me : time is not my own.

Another wow- bow! HFF, Steve, enjoy your weekend!

Gudrun I had hoped by now you would see they are just normal bows we are just lucky we have very black skies with no moon. HFF and truly hope you have a great weekend.

For me it's wow because I have never seen one of your "normal" bows:-)

A great 360 with the Milky Way Bow, Steve. It's good that Perth created relatively little light pollution after only 1 hour drive. HFF and best wishes for the weekend.

I am a little surprised there is no pollution that is over powering but have to say south of the river we never had this problem city was at our backs,



HFF from the west.

A gorgeous sky that we never will see like this in our Northern hemisphere. Thanks for sharing and HFF, Steve.

Its a shame as it is a sight to behold even though the Camera picks up more detail , Glad you like the shot HFF from down under.

Hi Steve

A very nice picture, which I really like

It is so nice to see you back out making star pics after all the problem with fires and smoke.
Pleased it is in th epast!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a nice weekend
Peter

The area under the right hand side of the bow was the area burnt out still very black even at night passing through it. Biggest killer of late has been clouds. HFF have a great weekend.

Sublime night shot! HFF, Steve!
