Hi all,

Venus is a beautiful sight embedded in the central Milky Way, setting a couple of hours after sunset. The view only comes around so often, so I thought I'd make the most of nice weather and head to the south/west coast to catch some Venus-Scapes!

This is the first night from Sugarloaf Rock, WA, 27th October. Initially I thought I was snookered by a large smoke cloud, but fortunately the wind changed and blew it out to sea just on dark. You can see the last remnants below Venus.

Thanks for looking :)

Colin

A great pic Colin.One of the reasons I went to Lord Howe was to see what you do the setting over the ocean .Have you got any with the moon setting into the ocean?
