Boarder Stargaze 1
Small Magellanic Cloud to Jupiter -
Milky Way Centre (Bump!)
This exposure was taken on the tennis court of The Wymah
Valley Holiday Park, looking a bearing of 247o,
Altitude 70o. (approximately situated 40kms NE of
Albury, just on an arm of Lake Hume, new South Wales).
Jupiter being the brightest object.
BUMP! Either at the beginning or the end of the
exposure, Alex must have bumped the camera tripod creating
an artificial, but spectacular meteor shower!
