Awesome contrast Chris! I can't believe how dark the sky between the stars
appears. The zodiacal band looks almost like the Milky Way I saw at the GC
Star Party this summer. When I moved to New River 15 years ago, both
objects could be seen easily. These days, I enjoy these sights vicariously
through great photos like yours.

was taken in Winton Australia, and readily shows the Gegenschien as a very
bright patch, and with this image as well, you can directly compare the
Magellenic clouds with M31. I noticed that the core of M31 appears very
yellow while the LMC appears more white.
