We drove out to New Norcia Western Australia the other night for Space Cowboy. There is an ESA Deep Space Tracking facility out there that the crew wanted to film. After that I setup some equipment and pinged off a few shots. The piggyback system I am using to mount my widefield cameras on is suffering from minor movement whilst I'm shooting. This is giving the stars in my photo's trails. I'll have to look into this sometime soon.
In the star trail shot my dew heater decided to make an appearance. This shot was about 1.5 hours.
2239
Second shot is Cygnus. 40 minutes. I was hoping to get the North American or Pelican but it seems I need to go longer.
2238
Final shot was Sagittarius with bright Jupiter. Again the piggyback bracket I'm using on my counterweight bar has moved causing my stars to trail. 40 minutes.
2240
All shot on Kodak Elite Chrome 200.
I haven't done any bush photography for a while, it was good to get back out there.
