Last Bow 2:30am :Do look large on black you get some idea of the landscape.
We set out as clouds parted and we wanted to take advantage of no moon. We went to the Lancelin sand Dunes a Huge area. I was very reticent to go as I had the mount shooting the Helix nebula and the focus was not working as well as I would have liked. I did a dummy run of focus it worked so I let nina start it self at 9pm to start the night and night 3 saturday. You can see the position of the Helix nebula on the Milky way close to the planet Saturn.
we drove into the dune in a 4x4 and first dune we got bogged in the soft powdered sand way down the end of the valley near the three white tops(exit of the dunes safety light). We got out by the use of tryer boards under the wheel. we arrived at this spot and the three of us started shooting. this was the very end of the night I walked into the "valley" right up close to the dunes to try and cover the lights from the small hamlet of lancelin ( left side).
the dune to my left shoulder is bigger than a house you get no usable scale in the black of night. The Milky way was getting smaller and lower so I walked down the dune into the valley. we left a 3 am I got in the house at 4:30 am just in time to turn off the alarm then crawled into bed. It was a very cold night lots of layers on again.
technically might be the first photo taken on the 19th only New Zealand is much ahead of australia.

I have taken Film photography myself just to prove it.

I grew up with my fathers "Time Life" of the milky way I hope I have that correct it was so long ago. In this book I got to see some of those stunning nebulas and dreamed. It was all made a whole lot easier when I purchased my first Full frame Nikon (D600) and could see just how much easier I had it than my father ever did. I started with shots of trying to get the stars in many ways self taught from reading and trying. My first Milky way bow was about a years learning and three months looking for a program to build it. That shot.

DEEP space is a whole different discipline one that would have been easier if I was a computer nerd BUT I am far from it so its been hard learnt from my Mentor and Friend. I started just as my father did on my own out in the dark with a tracker but could see it was something that was a bit beyond me. That learning curve.

Here I am 5 years into deep space, yes I have drowned in the learning curve but it slowly made sense could see how it worked so here I am, you have the Helix Nebula and Milky Way shot on the same night miles apart and light years apart as a discipline as you could get.
Yes I still get a kick out of looking up at a sky Full of Stars as I did when I was a kid on a tropical island counting out the seconds. Now I can get even closer and better than that book with those nebulas in it from my own home in the Backyard.
So as I have told my wife many times I am still alive if I can still see photos in my head I want to take, once I don't see anything new my days a truly over. BUT I enjoy it. till that day and try to help other aspire to some new heights.
I still like to stand out on our street on dark nights and see as much as I can with my naked eye. If I stand there long enough I can see more than I think from first glance. We are made up of stars, so it's nice to honor them.
[I did see your ipermail also, but I've been busy with the event - sorry for delayed reply.]
