Hi all,

Here are some more images taken on my recent trip to Tasmania. We did a short camping trip to Mt Field National Park (Australia's first national park), and walked in to Lady Barron Falls. The first 3 images show the falls and surrounding area. I also had a go at capturing some glow worms in the forest near Russell Falls - the final image shows the result.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen

Excellent shots, Stephen. I love the first one the best.

What asterism is that last one? ;)

Beautiful pics Stephen - like the 2nd :thumbsup:
Looked at the last, and wondered what constellation you were pointing at, then remembered the gloworms. They would have been a wonderful sight!!

Thanks Mike and Liz!

I was thinking of posting the glow worms image in the Deep Space section and asking if anyone could identify the cluster...:P

Cheers,
Stephen

Great shots Stephen. Tasi is a beautiful place, visited there about 15 years ago and toured around in a hire Mini :) So much to see and do there.

Loved all the images Stephen, can't really put one above the other.

I think the constellation in the last one is the "Running Horse".

Cheers

That's what I was thinking, looks like a slightly blown constellation. Great image.

Nice shots Stephen.
The glow worms fascinate me, I'd love to see some !

As for which constellation, I think they're from the worm hole in Pegasus. ;)
