    More stardust

    Taken last night from Wellington, New Zealand.

    There was a bit of aurora activity happening last night, not sure if the haze is that or air glow.

    Better image on here

    Excellent - is that a single shot or a stacked one ? Either way - very nicely done.

        Very nice image indeed. Due to light pollution it's not something I'd seen till visit to Isle of Skye recently. The lodge wed rented was in isolated spot and we spent time staring up at a view a bit like this.

          Really nice and the comments wishing for less light polution are something I empathise with. I live on the coast and look out on an inky blackness yet there is still far too much light from the town to see anything as nice as this and the only times I really have had a clean view of the Milky Way have been while camping in Cornwall. On my trips to Scotland I've also been denied by it simply not getting dark enough; I've taken hand-held no-flash photographs at well gone 11pm!

          Cheers,
          John

            Thank you very much everyone!

            The picture is a single shot of 25 seconds at 3200 f/2.8 at 14mm, I think. You can check the 500px link for details.

            I did adjust the contrast and usual light adjustments, but no colour changes.

            Give it another month or so, the galactic core should be visible at a reasonable time (currently 3.30am) and lower on the horizon, so I should be getting some better picture, hopefully!

            During May and June, I'm going to be back in the UK, so I will be missing out as well, if that makes any of you feel better!

            Thanks again.

                Nicely captured

                You even have both the Large and Small Magellenic Clouds showing up very clearly in the 'shot'.

                Had the pleasure of seeing these a few times on my trips to Oz.
