Saturday saw Dave up the creek with Allan and Mel. It was a grey and miserable day and I thought they were insane for going up, and I was absolutely right – they all came back completely soaked ![]()
A couple of nice shots, though…
I fed them hot tea and coffee to warm them up
And then Sunday – after much umming and ahhing over the weather, Dave decided his night sky photography course could safely run. I was a bit worried because it was still a bit cloudy when he left, but Lo! Around 7pm, the clouds all disappeared and a glorious clear sky was apparently had.
Dave claims this night sky panorama he got is old hat, but I’ve never seen anything like it and had a big “What The?!?!” moment when I first saw it. Dave explained it as an arch from horizon to horizon.

The Milky Way
See there is land at both ends? Very nice!
