Southern Cross setting over Uluru

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I've just returned from an epic, 8 week road trip to the Red Centre.
Taken at the Dune 5, free camp, which overlooks both Uluru and Kata Tjuta.
The Moon was quite bright that night, which, while washing out the sky, did illuminate the landscape, beautifully.
Canon 700D, Tamron 18-200mm lens @ 18mm, F3.5, ISO3200, 10sec exposure time, 510 frames total.

Spectacular JJJ. I don' get any black bars in my video.

Last weekend I did several nightscapes.
Pushing the envelope trying out new approaches.

This one is 3 panels of 30 seconds ISO3200 Zeiss Loxia 21mm at F2.8 tracked on a Polarie and a panoramic head.
The landscape is Irix 15mm F2.4 3 x 121 seconds ISO3200 untracked.

I used Lightroom, Sequator and Photoshop for processing. Sony A7r2. I used a dark as well.

That's because the camera was on it's side, capturing the scene as a portrait
