Great work Ross. The dusty expanse and different coloured nebulae provide for a great composition

wow, massively worth the extra click to astrobin. Great work

That's a beauty Ross! So much dust, the dark Wiruna skies would'a helped there and indeed, the woolly Mammoth really stands out.

Hello Mike


Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of dust I was able to capture.


Yes, Wiruna is still such a great dark site and relatively close to Sydney. Hoping to get there again this new moon!


So good to see your world class photos , now coming from a world class observatory, still amazing us on IIS!

Thank you Rodney.


Have been inspired by some of your excellent "dusty", dark site photos.

Great pic! Your right mate, same piece of sky. I noticed you had the Blue Horse on astrobin. I have a few hours but yet to process. Bagged a few hours but really need more time. Trees and weather in the backyard put a halt on it.
