[AZ-Observing] Re: Southern Milkyway over Thunderstorm

That's a great shot!   I had an opportunity to visit the land down under a
few years ago.  I drove 5 hours to the New South Wales Astronomic Society's
dark observing site.  It was a great drive, and the first night was
absolutely fantastic.  The second day, it snowed.  They all jumped around
like kids while I muttered under my breath.  But, we had a great social
time by the fire.

G'day!

HI all,

Our latest trip to the Outback of Australia was great fun - 4 priceless
nights of astro imaging, a week of digging dinosaurs, and another week
traveling, fossil collecting and meeting old and new friends.  Here is the
first of what will be many new postings from this trip, a 17mm wide angle
shot on the Auroracam II mount of the Southwestern sky right after
twilight.

You can see many familiar sights here - Alpha Centauri, Eta Caraina and the
star cluster gems round the southern cross.  Our latitude was -21 here, and
the sky measured 21.6 mag on the SQM.
