I spent a weekend in the Hunter this time last year (in the midst of the wineries...) and the night sky was delightful.

Hi Greg
Most of the shots have been taken from my backyard (described in a previous post). Others have been taken at Ken Charlwood's property North of Singleton (very nice). But even there the mines are starting to encroach on his Southern horizon. I think there are four that were taken a Wiruna: the comet, the wide field crux, the coalsack and wide field Eta Carina.
And I must admit that there is nothing quite like a night under the stars with a bottle of the Hunter's "Observer's Red".
Cheers
