Absolutely very stunning images Mike. Mine are light years behind already. Could you send me some steady and clear air?
Havn't had any posting here for a long while. Except bad weather has been continuing since the beginning of this year, work drives me crazy also. For the past 6 months, I could only have 2 nights free for imaging. But the sky didn't cooperate and so the images were very poor that they were not worth any posting. Weather forecasts it will be mainly rainy the whole next week!
This year, I will spend my holiday in Australia again. Luckly, my wife allows me more astrophotographing time with this vacation. I will arrive in Sydney on July 17th and want to visit Bird, if he is available. Then back to Sydney on July 23 to pick up my friend at the airport. Maybe have one night stay in Bankstown and visit my another friend there. Then will drive to Coonabarabran via Orange to spend 2 nights for star field shooting there. Lastly back to Sydney via Port Macquarie along routie 34 and routie 1.
Last year, I was very lucky to meet Paul in Nambour and it is my great honour to make friend with him and his wife. It was very joyful to have time spent with them. The memories are always playing back in my brain once I feel very frustrated and difficult time with my work.
You guys have captured so many awesome planetary shots. Except the good sky conditions, your skills in camera setting and image processing do play very important role. So, I really hope I can meet some of you and share experience in planetary imaging as well as processing in this journey or to join some star parties. Could this dream come true?
Bird, will you be available from July 17th to 19th around? Could we have a meet? Please PM me.
Paul, sorry this year I can't visit you and Sya this year as my wife Barbara wants to visit Canberra.
That may be an OT here. So, I will open a new thread next week in the General Chatting section to talk about more of my planning on this journey. I will be more than happy to have your arrangement for any meeting and site suggestions for accommodation and star field shooting.
Thanks in advance.
Clear skies,
LT
