2. Night Sky

Sky at Night

Look into the night sky and you look back in time. The sky at night is a vastness beyond comprehension, full of celestial objects like galaxies, stars, planets and the Moon. Gaze into a clear night sky and you get drawn into another world, a world as it was in the past. In this collection I am sharing my favourite night sky images and collections. All have been photographed in a natural environment and are real images. Many of my images tell a story, whether the subject matter or process of composition.
All photos captured with OM System.

    June 03_04 2011. I was on Noctilucent watch tonight and setup the all night camera shoot pointing N/NW with a view to catching an early am show. Unfortunately I dropped a bit of booby and put the wrong batteries in. They only lasted until 0100hrs, which was mighty frustrating when I picked up the sopping wet camera from the field at 0600hrs. Missed the dawn NLC show and ended up with a few hrs startrail. Oh well, c'est la vie. Captured with Olympus E5 & 7-14mm - F4, ISO 500, 15s exposure time shot continuous. I needed the dew shield too!
    June 02_03 2011. The nights are getting shorter, which means less time and frames to capture the summer startrails. This one comprised approx 800 images each @15s and stacked. Couple of meteors at 9 o'clock too. Foreground lit/painted with 2 No flash guns (FL36). Captured with Olympus E5 & 7-14mm.
    July 14/15th 2011. An opportunity for Noctilucent clouds (NLC) and meteors. NLC have been spotted over recent nights and we are approaching Perseids meteor time of the year. What is becoming a rare clear night summer sky I set out with high hopes. Inevitable disappointment, however I did manage a half decent star trail and catch a nice meteor (see next image). Captured with Oly E5 & 7-14mm. Approx 900 exposures stacked for this one.
