Even on a 4 day drive across from Sydney to Perth there's time to sneak in some astro.

Nice work Todd. Hard to pick a favourite, but maybe the last one by a whisker. Though I do like the torch beam for something a bit different.

[Toddyh]

Thanks Brad. I think #3 is my fav too. It's the only one with pretty much no light pollution (just a touch from the campfire behind me).

A great series but #2 for me Todd. What were the settings and gear please?

[Isac]

#3 for me Todd. All good though. It sure is a fascinating sight and it just shows how small we really are in the large scheme of things.

Thanks Guys.

John it was with Sony A7rii with 16-35mm f2.8. Settings were f2.8, iso 3200, shutter 15s.

The torch i flicked on for a fraction of a second.

[Grumpy John]

Thanks for the info Todd, appreciated.

[Toddyh]

No worries. Oh also a 10 second timer so I could run to my chair.

All good Toddy but I think the last is the best. I find the foreground lights in the others are a bit overpowering. The torch beam is a nice touch

[Toddyh]

Thanks Alan.

I really want to learn this as I think this are incredible images to get.
I have tried and one day I will look on that youtubey place and see if I can work it out.
So with this said love the shots with the torch one for me holding my interest the most.

Thanks Arthur. Practice and patience as well as getting away from cities are the key.
