I took this photo at the Australian Telescope Compact Array at NarrabriTime
Taken on the 27th of July at 8.30pmLighting
I did not use any lightingEquipment
I used my canon mark 3 with 24-70 f2.8 lens on a tripod. Settings used F2.8 30sec iso 10000 focal length 24mmInspiration
I had been waiting for the opportunity to visit the ATCA for a long time and when they ran their first open night for photographers I jumped at the chance, we live in Tamworth a few hours away.Editing
Not much just adjusted the exposure and sharpness a littleIn my camera bag
My trusty old Canon Mark III, 24-70 f2.8, 50 f1.2, 70-200 f2.8Feedback
The lower the fstop the better when shooting the night sky, a sturdy tripod is essential, the milky way is only visible between March and October for best results choose a time when the moon is not visible.
