Some shots from Katoomba Airfield

These are some of the better shots that I managed last night at Katoomba Airfield. It really was a great night, sharing views of countless objects through the various scopes that were there. A couple of us experimented with various ISO settings and exposure lengths. We also had the unique opportunity to use an aircraft as a foreground object with the milky way rising behind it.

All these shots were taken using my Canon 60D with the Sigma 8-16mm lens @ 8mm. Most are 60 second exposures and I think one was a 120 seconds.

Looking forward to seeing the results everyone else got from the night and getting back out there next month! Might try a time lapse next time.
