light pollution

Light pollution 


I was out photographing the stars around 2:30 Sunday morning, As I was returning home I noticed the shear amount of light pollution form one light sources up on the crest of the hill in the distance so I stopped to photograph the effect.

behind it and to the left you can see light pollution from Bathurst.

I found it interesting to see some of the impact we have had on the night sky.

Photographing the eta aquarid meteor shower 2016

Hello everyone
The eta aquarid meteor  shower will be reaching it's peak on may the 5th and 6th and i hope to be out of town to photograph the shower.

Thankfully this time i have better planned for the meteor shower than last time as i got the time zone wrong.

more information on the meteor shower can be found herehere and here

Looking forward to trying to spot the Quadrantids Meteor Shower

On the 3rd or 4th of January 2016, I will be trying to observe the Quadrantids Meteor Shower from my parents back paddock on both nights. I decided to mow around the back paddock so i will not be in patches of thistles this time (real fun).  

Though i might not be able to see the Quadrantids Meteor Shower over Bathurst, As it is better observed in the Northern hemisphere, but i will still try anyway because i can not expect to get any meteor photos if I don't put any effort.

I did have fun taking photos of the Geminids meteor shower on the 13th-14th of December, so I think I have a bit of a idea what settings to use, though there are always room to experiment with the settings.

More information can be found here and here.

(note I am an Amateur astronomy photographer and i don't have much experience in Astronomy photography, I would go to other photographers first for advice on taking Astronomy photography.)

Anyway i will have fun photographing the stars on the 3rd and 4th of January 2015 and if i get any meteors that will make it all the more better.
