Back where it belongs :)

Ok, some others may disagree with that, but I’m pleased to announce that I was kindly awarded the Erwin Van Der Velden memorial trophy for best widefield Astro photo for the second time this Astrofest.

I’m very happy that this massive panorama of 42 shots, somewhat cut down, won. The outback town in deepest Qld that it was taken is called Boulia and is a most exceptionally remote place to visit!

Yarraman v’s The Space Station

I’m quite sure that the entire crew aboard the International Space Station were looking down at a bunch of Astro-geeks in a vacant block near the centre of Yarraman, Queensland when we captured their home crossing the face of the sun. I can only assume they were as excited as us looking up!
