    Consider yourself the proud owner of a rare, and much coveted Qss "Double Wow" mate :50:

    Be careful though, because you almost lost the award by insinuating that I thought I could hold my phone steady enough for 20 seconds free-hand to photograph the Stars........... OBVIOUSLY the plan would be to place the phone on solid ground for the long exposure in order to show the Stars as little dots of light rather than squiggly lines lol......... But you did capture two distant Galaxies, the Southern Lights, and some superb shots of our own Milky Way Galaxy, so the Double Wow is deservedly yours lol.

    Seriously though, really outstanding photos mate. :50:

    Excellent follow-up post mate, I wasn't aware of the 'Emu' story, and you've not only explained it, but highlighted it nicely with the pictures. Nice one. :50:

    Last night's full moon......

    February’s full Moon will light up the sky on the morning of Saturday, February 24, 2024, offering a celestial spectacle known as the Snow Moon. This particular full moon is classified as a “Micromoon,” a term that contrasts with the more commonly known “supermoon.”

    The micromoon occurs when the full moon is at apogee, or its farthest point from Earth, making it appear slightly smaller in the sky compared to when it’s at its closest............

    there is apps that give you live tracking data rather than relying on emails. ISS spotter is one of them.
