Half a Circle - a photo on Flickriver

Half a Circle

            You don't need to have followed me for long to notice that I've shot many of my images at the coastal town of Gerroa. Located 110 km (68 mi) south of my home in Sydney, Australia, Gerroa is the closest dark-skies destination that I can make a return journey to in one night. 

Taking in a sweep of 180 degrees of coastline, this nightscape panorama includes the Magellanic Clouds on the left, the grand arch of our Milky Way through the centre of the frame, and three planets to add extra interest. Mars is the bright orange orb at the top-right of my photo. Jupiter is close to the horizon–and reflected off the water–at the centre. Saturn lurks between Mars and Jupiter amidst the dust lanes and star clusters that populate the Milky Way's core region.

I captured the sixty images that make up this panorama in June of 2018, sometime around 3:00 am. Each of the single frames was shot with my Canon EOS 6D camera, a Rokinon 24mm f/1.4 lens @ f/2.4, using an exposure time of 15 seconds @ ISO 6400.
