Astrofest Nightscapes
Some shots from Astrofest 2013 at Lions Camp Duckadang in QLD. The sky was an absolute dream all week.
Also have a video of a night of my imaging.

Love it. Glad the weather in SEQ has obliged. I'm heading off for my second straight weekend to Leyburn!!!
When I walked around the corner and saw the imaging field at Duckadang a couple of years ago, I thought - Las Vegas!! Good to see it hasn't changed.

Great work, Chris. The second-last image is my favourite. I really like the video too.
Nice to see that the field is well lit from an OH&S perspective...

That video's brilliant. The last shot of the IIS sticker tracking with the Galactic Plane could be a TV ad!

Thanks all, glad you enjoyed them. It was great to meet a lot of the people for the first time.
The camera actually lies a little. It wasn't *really* that bright, but a 30 second exposure can do wonders for a dimly lit LED.

Great shots Chris - also loved the video. The first one does have a Vegas feel to it.
