A wider pre-sunrise view of the planetary lineup that I photographed last week. Most of Orion is now visible as it rises. The three stars forming a line in his belt lead to Venus after bypassing Aldebaran in Taurus, and Mercury sitting just above the clouds. The Pleiades are visible a little further on. The waning crescent moon is very overexposed but beyond it, Mars and then Jupiter are visible.

I 'left' this stack alone for a day to let the process gel a bit in my head ... a lot simpler this time round.
My favourite for the day - "blue hour" is such a special time for some reason.

Going to a very fast prime lens has really been a game changer on the K1 for me.

Taken with the K1 and the fabulous IRIX 150mm macro lens
I just bought an Irix 15mm f2.4 to see how it handles night shots. This is the first attempt. I did not have the time to travel to a dark location so this image was taken only about 10km out of Toowoomba City. The light pollution was terrible and it was still astronomical twilight. It seems to be ok but I think the 25 second exposure time is a bit long - if the elongated stars are trailing and not distortion or bad focusing. Well learning curve coming up - see how it goes. I took some day shots and they were great but massive vignetting. However I downloaded the lightroom irix lens profile from the irix website and it corrects it perfectly.
But this last little bit was still very nice ...

Continued solar activity was generating more glow from Aurora Australis again last night, just visible to the naked eye with averted vision. The Milky Way is rising on the left, with its prominent, dark, Coal Sack Nebula. The descending Small Magellanic Cloud is high to the right. Between them lies the South Celestial Pole, unfortunately with no conspicuous marker like Polaris in the northern hemisphere.
