Some shots from Hargraves Lookout

Hi all,

Headed out to Hargraves Lookout on Sunday night with some of the guys off here. Seemed like a pointless exercise as when I left Sydney at 2pm we were pretty much completely clouded over. Got to the site around 4pm and the clouds were breaking up. This made a cracker of a sunset, not to mention a clear night of over 6 hours observing time in what was one of the darkest skies I've been under.

Here are some of the better shots I took of the view and observing site. First real time I have shot in RAW and I can really see why it is the format of choice! So much more flexibility when it comes to processing the images. I feel I may have overcooked some of these but I am happy with the results.

All shots taken with my 8-16mm Sigma lens.

Cheers,

Jase
