Observation Point 2

The place was a total black area but for the cloud cover we had each night. On the third day I could see the Southern Cross and the Pointers so I took off.

when I set up the wind was so strong it caused shake in the shot so I moved the tripod behind a bush to get out of the wind. I shot from right to left as the clouds where moving very fast. you will note the movement between the first and second shot. It only took 10 min of shot time and my view of the stars was totally washed out. this was the sum total of stars I saw the whole trip clear days clouded in at night. PIP shows you all I got for the second row.

in this shot I have tried to mask out the cloud areas but there is just too much to get a great photo. Who every said Astro photography is easy this was the total stars I saw in the whole time.
