I guess these shots are mostly deep sky? Was fortunate to be out Lake Ballard way a month ago to see the lake partially filled with water. A pretty rare sight, last time I saw it like that was Sept 2010. Back then I got some shots but none with the sculptures, so have had an eye on the weather in that region ever since.
Was out there 3 nights, the first 2 were clouded out. The 3rd night was windless and as luck would have it the airglow was strong and a beautiful emerald green. These are frames from a longer timelapse that I hope to release someday with other stuff I've done in WA.
LB is a fantastic place to visit if you're ever out that way.
As discussed ... brilliant pics Very nearly the exact shot I was planing to do next time I was out there, very envious
Do you know why you have a green hue on the horizon? It looks quite nice but is not something I've seen in other pictures. I find a get a distinct brown hue when in the dusty wheatbelt, I wonder if it's an environmental effect from the lake?

It's the 3rd time I've seen the emerald green glow. This and another were over lake beds, while the 3rd was over the ocean. In all 3 it was a distinct patch that moved in and cleared away, so pretty sure it's a form of airglow. In the fisheye timelapse, the yellowy brown layer you see on the southern horizon in the attached image is more extensive at the start and clears away to the south giving way to the green layer. Later in the night another yellowy brown layer replaces it. Quite fascinating.
That water must be dead still to reflect the milkyway in this fashion. Never seen it quite like this before. Nice shots.
Thanks again. Yes, dead still and a depth of 1 or 2 cm makes a nice mirror with minimal absorption. Those conditions are pretty rare so lucky to have been there to capture it.

. No longer Greg, we have a home! Thanks mate.
