They are rather well known objects for you to image Scott
Nice job on both as usual, colours nice and yes quite deep for a DSLR and Newcastle city coal mining skies
I love your setup shots, I wasn't sure if it was a scope outfit or just a small pile photographed in your garage? Looking at your setup invokes memories of the 80's, you just need some daggy wallpaper on the Samson pier post and it would be complete
...no seriously it is clearly a nice high tech modern scientific facility
I was out past Kurri last night (and two other cold nights this week) and I could have done with that lecki blanki
instead I would set an exposure set going and jump in the car and sleep for an hour, there was a frost on two mornings too so must have reached zero C ...felt like I was back in Canberra on a cold autumn night
(would get to -7C on occassions on mid winter nights there, so zero is nutin
)
Nice job mate
Mike
