One of my first picture taken over the week-end with the 1Ds Mark III. The dynamic range of this camera is simply unbelievable…
On top of the world at the Empire State Building!
Telescope high up on the Eiffel Tower…
The darkened pedestals of the refracting telescope stand empty against the sky. The result of the fire that went through the Mount Stromlo observatory, located on the outer edge of Canberra, in January 2003.

The famous M42. A must see of the winter sky.

This image shows the planet Jupiter and all 4 of the Galilean Moons in high-resolution. The moons, from left to right, are: / Europa, Callisto, Ganymede and Io The image was taken with my 12” Newtonian Telescope and a DMK21AU04 webcam from my backyard on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia.
This image was taken at the South Pacific Star Party in April 2007. It’s a composite of a tracked 5 minute exposure for the sky, with a non-tracked 5 minute exposure for the foreground. Taken with a Canon 350D and Sigma 17-70mm lens. Processed in Photoshop. It’s now the feature image on the ASNSW’s SPSP page. From the Vault: Observing the Milky Way Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

On your view screen now is the Globular Cluster Omega Centauri. This cluster of approximately 2 million stars and is located about 16,000 light years from Earth. / The cluster is held together by gravity and is in orbit about the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. The cluster is visible as the 24th brightest star in the constellation of Centaurs. (The brightest stars in any constellation are given the Greek Letters in order of brightness.) Though the stars look crowded together they are still separated by large distances and will rarely collide. The stars that make up Globular Clusters are the oldest in the Universe. / This image was taken with a Nikon D300 attached to a 6” f7 telescope on an Equatorial Mount. The effective focal length is 1066mm. This image is made from 3×5 minute exposures combined in CS2.
The Parkes radio telescope, made famous by the movie “The Dish”. Approaching this thing at 2am was rather erie, no one for miles, just you and this automated 64 metre wide radio telescope, scanning the skies for new stars and planets. This was an important part of the 1969, Apollo 11 moonwalk event. Now operated by CSIRO, scanning the skies 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Two-thirds of the 1,800 known pulsars, including the only binary pulsar system, were found using this telescope. Canon 50D, 12mm, light cropping. Parkes, NSW – 7:07am.
well the title says it all… this time the background emulsion of this 15 year old film has gone all brown and green… no joke I can’t even imagine how stressed this film got while it rested in a big box of old negatives for decades waiting for me to get to it…. and coz it’s been so long since I even thought about it… I can’t remember which way up the moon was…. straight scan from the neg with a bit of resizing and that’s all folks / . /
This is the heart of the Milky Way our own galaxy. The section that you see here is mostly the constellation of Saggitarius. / Almost in the centre is the nebula M8 or usually known as the Lagoon.A little way to the right is the Nebula M20 or the Trifid so named as there are a series of dark lanes crossing the face of the nebula spliting it into 3 sections. The nebula is the top right corner is the Swan. Most visible are the many dark lanes that run across the face of the stars. these are not spaces between stars but rather dark clouds of dust and gas that obscure the klight of the background stars. / This phot was taken with a Nikon D300 with the 70-200 vr Nikon Lens set at f2.8 with an exposure of 4 minutes. this is a composite of 4 images overlayed in CS3 to reduce the grain from shooting at ISO 800. / This image was taken at Coonabarabran in the central west of NSW.
Welcome to NGC5128 or Centaurus A or The Hamburger. / This is a close neighbouring galaxy to the Milky Way. It lies about 12,000,000 Ly distant and is an active galaxy. In the centre of the Galaxy lies a Million Solar Mass Black Hole. The gravity of this enormous black hole attracts the stars and gas in the middle of the galaxy. The gas and stars falling in creates a disc of material which gets superheated due to the compression of the gravity of the black hole. The super hot material radiates its energy in radio and X-rays. The point directly above and below the disc of infalling matter allows for most of the energy to escape in jets. These jets will effect the galaxy itself and as you can see the galaxy appears to be elongated slightly off the vertical. The bark lane across the middle of the galaxy is not the infalling dust and gas. Rather it is the remains of another galaxy that Centaurus A has canablised in the past. The glow of the stars is being blocked from view. This Galaxy is very large by any standard being several times the size of the Milky Way. / This image is a composite of 3 five minutes images taken with a Nikon D300. The camera was attached to a 6” refractor on a mount to compensate for the earths rotation.
This is the first time I have incorporated a true image (not my own) into my artwork. A bit of an experiment I have downloaded an image of the Orion Nebula from the HubbleSite, these are not copyright and may be used by the public in any form as long as credit is given to N.A.S.A, which I have done… It is the Orion Nebula as I said with my own interpretations added to create a fantasy space image. Not as clever as making it myself I couldn’t resist this wonderful image of the Nebula as I was browsing them, there is much on here that doesn’t belong and if you compare it to the original you will notice the many changes but here (hopefully) seamlessly become part of reality… The Orion Nebula can be found in the constellation of Orion and you can see most of the stars that make up The Hunter…Orion is hunting the Bull, Taurus as he charges headforth into Orion as the constellations make their way around the night sky. I have a fractal image of Aldebaran, the red star that is the eye of Taurus too. Check it out here More than anything I wanted to show you the magnificent Orion Nebula, as caught by the Hubble Telescope, my editing is just a good excuse for me to put it on Red Bubble so you can all see it! FEATURED in A.D.A.W.G group… This is the original Hubble Telescope image of the Orion Nebula.. /
