Cape Schank, Australia, 10/01/2014

This is one of the views south over Cape Schank I explored whilst on the hunt for an aurora display last week.  There was some nice subtle green and red airglow around and I even managed to capture a bright meteor passing right through the head of The Emu.  The Emu is a constellation in Aboriginal culture and is comprised of the dark nebulas and dust lanes against the background Milky Way, rather than stars.

Canon 5DMkII, 14mm, F/2.8, ISO 3200, Single 30 second exposure.  Foreground illuminated by the Cape Schank Lighthouse.

Same location:
