That's a nice one. Perfect framing. :thumbsup:

[gregbradley]

What a nice compliment! Thank you very much JJJ.



Thanks Rick.



Cheers Marc.

Its hard to capture how it looked as the Moon of course is very bright.

I also took a longish exposure Milky Way Panorama of it as it happened to be almost exactly under the middle of the Milky Way arch. Yet to be processed.

I was extremely disappointed i missed this :( Melbourne has been covered in cloud for days on end!
But that is an amazing image Greg!

Thanks Sean.

I also did a Milky Way long exposure panorama with this at the central point under the Milky Way arch. I'll be processing it soon and I think that should be quite a nice image.

Its one of those opportunities that arose I did not plan for but immediately thought I needed to capitalise on. A rare opportunity of things coming together - clear perfect dark skies, super seeing, no clouds after several nights of high cloud weather. Sometimes the clear sky Gods smile on you!
