It's the Southern cross. Happy 'Straya day! It was always a wild day when I lived in Banff with so many Aussies there! Enjoy your Vegimite, Bundy and Redskins( the candy)
Yep the Southern Cross Thanks all, bloody hot here yesterday, going to be the same today !!! quiet day at home burning meat on steel and hiding under the air conditioning mostly !
I had never thought about their being constellations that we can never see from the northern hemisphere, but it makes sense. I can only imagine what the night sky looks like from the middle of Australia, away from all civilization.
I still have not figured out night sky photography....you need to be out bush during a workable moon clcyle and have the patience for yet, that trip was the nearest I came to all those things lining up, next time I am out in the far west I am going to try again.
Stunning. I’ve not ever seen that many stars at once. Here the sky is mostly black. Too much other light. Even where I grew up, out “in the country” there weren’t that many.
