Best Comet in Years
After missing out on opportunities to capture one of the best Comets in years, I finally managed to capture C2024 G3 Atlas setting over Lake Bael Bael near Kerang in Victoria. I wasn't expecting much of a result as it is fading and is visible only as the sun sets but there it was in all its glory.
Although I sound a bit glum, I did enjoy my time at Death Valley, but it certainly didn't go to plan. A real mix of excitement and disappointment.
Our final day in New Zealand.
A long but great day at Milford Sound. The road in is spectacular and once you get there, even better. The sunset turned into a bit of a fizzer but the rest was great.
We were planning on staying for some astro until a guy told us the road out was now closed due maintenance! We hi-tailed it out of there just in case and it turned out the guy was full of sh#t. We stopped on the Home side of the tunnel and got a moon over the snow covered valley so all was not lost.
Glow Worm Caves boat cruise this morning and a long drive to Kaka Point.
Bit of an adventure last night to Hooker Lake.
And naturally it wouldn't be complete without the Time-lapse video. Wanaka Tree at dawn.
