Parking under the stars.HFF

MAGNIFICENT *****************

Many thanks it was a very good night.

An excellent Milky Way arch, Steve. HFF.

The western bow is always a better looking bow than the eastern Bow I did enjoy the night. HFF to you.

great Steve. we only get the 2/3 part on the right with the Sag area near the horizon. We never get the LMC and SMC which are so nice in your picture. Did you ever try some detailed work on the SMC and LMC?

As I dont have an equatorial mount I have never tried but as its fine this weekend I will try with my 50mm and 105mm and see what I get.the biggest killer is time with longer lens. Its certainly worth a try. Many thanks .

Stunningly beautiful, Steve! HFF!

Many thanks from way out west, great on the computer screen. HFF hope you have a great weekend.

HFF Steve - milky way could appear as a fence in your capture, as well.
Very nicely taken.

Thanks I can understand what you are getting at as well. HFF hope yours is as fine as ours.

Wow! That sky is so beautiful Steve. An impressive capture. HFF and have a great weekend

Many thanks I am happy you like our western black skies I have tried to show it the best. HFF and thoroughly enjoy your weekend.

Spectacular shot! HFF, Steve!

Thanks some thing I enjoy no end. HFF to you.

Another magnificent effort Steve. I just love your bows, done to perfection now. And, with fences too, how good is that!

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

thanks Herb I did think to get the fence rather than normal try not to get a fence. HFF to you but I hope you are getting some rain .

Impressive picture. Belated HFF, Steve !

Many thanks just to prove you can see fences at night. HFF hope your weekend is a good one.

A terrific capture there.. Steve.. do we see a couple of galaxies over to the left ?
Marvellous stuff... Cheers from Dj.. UK.

DJ you certainly see two clouds

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellanic_Clouds

The big and the small when I get some clear weather I am going to try and get a photo of them if I can. Welcome to our black night you will find plenty in my gallery. all the best from down under.

Thanks Steve,,, I have had an interest in astronomy and more so 'Cosmology' since being fascinated by 'Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' series back in the 70s.
I know and understand the technique of capturing night sky photo's such as your excellent work here... but I've never had much success. Probably city lights and my lack of finding clear regions.
Thanks again and all the best from Dj.

DJ I can tell you its easy as I have done the hard yards and I understand just what I am doing but its easy to follow as you already know. Herb has taken the few steps to try with my help.

the end result comes with some planning and understanding I can only recommend if you have the gear that can handle the night work its 100% worth the effort. as you can see by this group I started.

All the best from down under.

Fanatstic as always! I am proud to say that I manage to recognize the Magellanic clouds instantly,-) I do hope you didn'tz put yur tripod in the middle of the road....

I always believe the two clouds are part of the sky show so I do my best to always have them in the shot. Yes at 11:45pm I was squarely in the middle of the road not even in a 1 horse town it was so small and sleepy to get this shot and I saw not a car. I wear a huge white coat at night so I cant be missed. Yes the best part of living in WA and getting out in the black.Glad you enjoy the night as much as I do.

Hi Steve

I always have great admiration for your sky shots. I am looking forward to our winter, and some dark nights!

Best wishes
Peter
