Hi all. First off my wife Melissa and I would like to say a big thanks for giving us the opportunity to attend our first ever star party/camp.
We had a relaxing time away with the sounds of the birds, the running creek and great dark skies.
After arriving, we decided to set up on the lower field and it was good to meet Adam our neighbor. The next day we decided to relocate to the top field where we met some more people. We found it very easy to start talking with anyone
Here a few photo's both of Lostock and out adventures on the road trip.
1. 10x 20 sec stack + 1 x 20sec for the foreground. EF-S 18-55 @18 f3.5
2. I found this lone grave with detailed iron work on a walk and returned to it for a Nightscape pic. Single 30 sec.
3. A tree silhouette against the night sky.
4. The famous 5 tree on the hill that feature in many nightscapes
5. A stop in Victoria provided a nice photo opportunity.
6. i had Melissa on the lookout for Nightscape objects to include in pics. Fun game that made the trip exciting. SHe found this beaut windmill, after a quick fence jump, i set up in an empty dam which allowed me to look up at it from below. The Moon and Jupiter and conjunction with Aldebaran just visible.
7. Here i caught a truck passing us as we were taking another break and i had the camera with me in country Victoria.
We had a great time and would love to be able to make it to many more.
