Cattle Ramp Silhouette

The cattle ramp provides a great silhouette against the night sky.

And plenty going on in the sky with the rising Milky Way and scorpius on the left amongst some green airglow, the Southern Cross and pointers next to the 'coal sack' (dark nebula) up the top, and the Large Magellanic Cloud (satellite galaxy) on the right. All with some clouds providing a bit of depth and colour to the image.

Single 30s exposure with the Canon 6D, Samyang 14mm lens, f/2.8, ISO6400. I used my iPhone screen to provide some subtle light for the cattle ramp.

The second two images are similar but I didn't feel the compositions were as strong. The airglow was much stronger in the direction of the 3rd one.

- Large 2
- Large 3

Thanks for looking.
