This is a 54 shot panorama of the Crux and Carina region of the Milky Way above a lone tree on a wheat farm near Wannamal, 1.5 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia. I was joined by for our first astro outing earlier in the year. Check out some of the fantastic images he has already posted from this night.

This is a 30 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above a mining pit just north of the Wheatbelt town of Westonia, 4.5 hours east of Perth in Western Australia.
This is the largest of two open pits at this site and is about 250m deep. Mining activities here have been put on hold so it is currently an inactive site though (emergency?) lighting was still being switched on nightly at the nearby processing plant, as you can see here (image 2). I took this from a public access viewing platform that looks out towards the east.

This is a 42 shot panorama of the Crux & Carina region of the Milky Way above Stirling Dam, 1.5 hours south of Perth in Western Australia. I don't normally light paint trees when I take these kinds of images but this time I wanted to try something different:)

Nikon d5500 - 993 x 30 seconds - 12mm - ISO 2000 - f/3.2
This is a 993 shot star trails image taken on the dry salt lake bed at Baladjie Lakes, 4 hours east of Perth in Western Australia. It is the equivalent of a little over 9 hours of exposure and no, I did not stand still for the entire 9 hours 😉

This is a 58 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above Baladjie Lakes, taken from inside one of several shallow caves that can be found around the massive granite outcrop about 4 hours east of Perth in Western Australia. These caves are quite treacherous with crumbling floors that make it difficult to get a footing, one slip and you are in some serious trouble...but these are the risks we take 😅

This is a 14 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above a dead tree at Baladjie Lakes, 4 hours east of Perth in Western Australia. I came here for different reasons than to shoot another dead tree but I couldn't help myself with this majestic old tree that sits adjacent to the entry road to the free camping area here.
I am slowly getting used to the MSM Nomad tracker, setting up with the polar scope and laser pointer is now much faster after attaching an illuminator to the scope. I've grown to like the constellation mapping on the reticule, means I don't have to bother with apps showing me where I need to place Sigma Octantis, so pretty handy!

Nikon d5500 - 11mm - ISO 2000 - f/3.2 - 1152 x 10 seconds
This is a 1152 shot star trails image taken during the last major aurora event on January 20 this year.
As soon as I got down to this spot, after a treacherous climb down from the viewing area above, I started to notice the aurora beams dancing in the sky with my naked eye and rushed to get this star trails going. In my rush I decided to go for 10 second exposures, not thinking about how many more shots it would end up taking or about whether that much data would fit on my memory card. Well, it didn't fit and I ran out of memory about 1 am....right in the middle of the third burst of the night.
Regardless, I still got a good five hours of star trails and the shorter exposure has the added benefit of giving me more detail in the actual aurora, rather than 'blurring' it out as longer exposures tend to do with anything in motion. The foreground was unexpectedly lit by people leaving the viewing area in their cars....another added bonus!

This is an 83 shot panorama of the Milky Way rising above a natural pool at Beringbooding Rock, 4 hours north east of Perth in Western Australia.
I stood directly at the foot of the pool in order to maximise the amount of star reflections as well as to exaggerate the perspective of the immediate foreground, including the pool. The reflections you see here are out of focus due to the immediate foreground being the object of the focus. I took another series of images where the star reflections were in focus but I preferred this version as it seems a bit more dramatic.
Again I have featured myself in one of my panoramas and it may seem like I am standing in a bit of a precarious spot but it was not very close to the edge, so perfectly safe!

This is a stacked image of Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) setting above Lake Clifton taken earlier in the year. The comet was breaking up at this point, creating a spectacular tail, much moreso than Comet A2 which seemed to me to get more coverage and attention than this comet, though likely because G3 was more of a Southern Hemisphere comet at this point of its life.

This is a 515 shot star trails image taken at The Pinnacles Desert, 2 hours north of Perth in Western Australia during a recent trip with and. There was a bit of aurora activity this particular night and a number of individual images from this stack did pick up red diffuse aurora to the south, so adds a bit of colour to the image:)
