Have you considered cloning out the man-made stuff, such as the viewing platform and distant lights?

Cheers

Thanks Dennis, appreciate the feedback. I hadn't really considered but I can see what you mean now. It would make it more jurassic by eliminating the non-human elements

I was wondering how you would go on this trip, given the moon phase at the time. The foreground looks great and there's still very nice detail in the sky.

Was this taken with the Samyang or the Nikon?

Thanks Rod. The Moon certainly wasn't ideal and eliminated any chance of capturing the Milky Way, but it certainly gave some unique light to the landscape.

This was with the Nikon 12-24.

Is this publicly-accessible, or do you need to know the people up there to be allowed on site?

Cheers H! I reckon as long as you email someone first it shouldn't be a problem. Even Pete from iTelescope or someone would be able to give you the ok. The area is 'public' though there's a gate at the bottom of the mountain. I don't know if it's ever closed though. Pete would be able to tell you.

haha thanks Marc. I'm sure Dorothy would've been right at home here
