Softly She Sets

All,

I wasn't sure where to post this -- in the terrestrial sub-forum or here. Figured I'd post it here as people do post star trails here, and, it may ellicit bit more of a response.

I went out to Booroomba Rocks with Barry Armstead (bloodhound31) on Tuesday night to try and image the peak of the Orionids.

Whilst waiting for Orion to rise, I thought I'd image the setting Milky Way.

The rest of the night was a bit of a fizzer as far as the meteor shower went (we saw a couple), but, it was great to finally meet Barry and have a chat.

Treat this as twilight fantasy with its roots based in reality.

Slightly higher resolution available here.

Comments, critique, etc., welcome.

Regards,
Humayun
