Cheers Marc.

Its hard to capture how it looked as the Moon of course is very bright.

I also took a longish exposure Milky Way Panorama of it as it happened to be almost exactly under the middle of the Milky Way arch. Yet to be processed.

I was extremely disappointed i missed this Melbourne has been covered in cloud for days on end!
But that is an amazing image Greg!

[gregbradley]

Thanks Sean.

I also did a Milky Way long exposure panorama with this at the central point under the Milky Way arch. I'll be processing it soon and I think that should be quite a nice image.

Its one of those opportunities that arose I did not plan for but immediately thought I needed to capitalise on. A rare opportunity of things coming together - clear perfect dark skies, super seeing, no clouds after several nights of high cloud weather. Sometimes the clear sky Gods smile on you!

Please send those gods my way

Lovely image Greg, an example of a realistic looking night scape, I feel like I am there when I look at it
