Hi All
Scoped out a nice dark site in Namadgi National Park a few weeks ago about a 45min drive from my place. With the waning moon and absolutely clear skies yesterday in Canberra I thought it was the perfect time to head down there.
The site is the former Orroral Valley Tracking Station. The good thing is the concrete foundations for all the former buildings are still there so it was easy to get set up on some solid ground. The bad was the cold temps that started setting in towards the end. Even the thermos of hot choc failed to warm me up so I had to call it a night.
This is the first image I've post processed. Still learning the tricks so I'd welcome any feedback. Will get around to PP some more and add them in.
Canon 60D, 15-85mm @ 15mm, F4.5, 121sec, ISO 2500 all mounted on a iOptron Skytracker.
