When things don't go to plan
I was on Dirk Hartog Island recently and wanted to get a shot of my Campertrailer at with the Milky Way - unfortunately due to the weather things didn't go to plan. The night was clear until I was set up and then the clouds rolled in and stayed for the rest of the night and this was the best I could get.

Here's one from a couple of years back that I haven't shared yet. It was taken along the Gibb River Rd, WA..

You know I'd never heard of it called that until a couple of months ago.
A manager at work saw the one I took on Big Red, and filled me in on it.

I`d heard about it years ago but never knew were it was until I did a bit of research on Indigenous starlore a few years ago. Puts a whole new view on the night sky. There is a rock carving in Kuring-Gai Chase National Park depicting it & I have seen references to it in other places.
Interesting write up on it - http://www.emudreaming.com/Examples/emu.htm

Haven`t seen any lightning pics on this thread, hope they count as night pics

One from a local festival over the weekend. A little fuzzy due to the light rain that was falling at the time & some fog on the lens as it was only about 2 degrees up on the hill where I took them.

5 Sec exposure @f5.6 & 400 ISO

Went out camping with my 4WD Club on the weekend and tried some more astro photography, this time using my new (2nd hand) Samyang F2.8 14mm lens on my Canon 6D.

View from our camp at the Big Red Bash, that's Big red in the background.

Sunset on the Cordillo Downs track

Attempt at capturing the ISS as it went by Kilcowera Station. Man that thing moves right along.

Still trying to get a handle on this night pic thing. A bit of practice last night with moonlight to light up the ground.
30 sec @ f3.5 - 3200 ISO

Found a program to stitch pics together. This one is 8 vertical images giving a 180 degree view. Took the pics on Wednesday night when the Moon was about a 1/4. Going to have another go tonight to see if I can get the whole Milky Way in.
The program is Microsoft ICE (free) if anyone is interested. Very easy to use & would be handy for any type of pano. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/image-composite-editor/
8 x 30 sec exposures @ f3.5 & 3200 ISO.

Couple from last night. 25 images combined to get the whole Milky Way in. Still playing around with the composite program but slowly getting there.
