I was not quite sure how to frame this one tonight,
I only got a heads up from my brother shortly before
the pass. It was going to go very close to Sirius with
Orion in frame too but I wanted to get it just in case it
went over the moon. I settled on a side on framing with
the gum trees at bottom.
Missed the moon btw....glow at right is the moon just
out of frame. Only a slight histo tweak and saturation
adjust in PSP. Pentax DSLR / 18-55mm lens at 18mm.
Hi Steve. Nice photo. Hope you don't mind posting on your thread! I had the same dilemma. I only heard about the fly over on the news tonight so ducked down to the Linear Park at Windsor Gardens and got this shot of it next to Orion. I would have liked to get a longer exposure but my finger slipped off the button! I moved the camera to overhead afterwards but it didn't turn out as good.

Not at all Wayne, nice shot! At least your stars are points
