Lake Somerset nightscape and timelapse

[troypiggo]

Well, nightscape and an astro-selfie :)

This is a 38 panel mosaic taken 25 June 2017 camping with the boys. Milky Way arching from Scorpius top left down to Carina middle bottom. Boo to the light pollution bottom left :( Some light from the camp grounds hitting the trees each end kind of looks cool, though.

Here's a link to a bit of a timelapse I made on the night after the mosaic. (https://flic.kr/p/WdppBK)

Feedback/critique appreciated - out of my comfort zone with both of these. :)

wow the light pollution of Brisbane is quite clear

Yeah, certainly is noticeable. Astrofest just a little further north, but must be just far enough that the light dome is smaller.

Very nice Troy. The despised light-pollution adds something to the shot I think.

I actually drove down to Lake Somerset in daylight during last year's Astrofest looking for spots to take some night-scape shots but in the end didn't have the time (or energy) to get down there at night.
