I ducked out early on the last morning of AAIC on the Gold Coast, heading away for three nights of challenging but rewarding night sky photography. A lot more driving than I originally planned, but the weather models put me in the right place each time for three clear nights in a row.
Thanks heaps to Anthony Wesely, Terry Cuttle, Tony Dutton and JJ for their local advice that helped me with the location scouting/planning. In particular I wouldn't have headed up Pyramid Rock on the last night without that literally last minute advice that there were 360 views at the top.
My website has the high quality images linked to full-res on SmugMug:
Zodiacal Light and the Gegenschein: August 2013
Kudos to anybody with the time and inclination to actually read all of that long and self-indulgent blog post!
Images processed with Lightroom, panorama creation using PtGui Pro. Getting smooth(-ish) results has been tricky for some of them. And of course there's plenty more to process, as always..
Thanks for looking!
