Sculptor Galaxy

A preview of 48min of OSC on the Sculptor Galaxy. The night was limited with high cloud, but the project has begun on collecting light. Taken with 3min subs on a TeleVue101is.

Helix Nebula

The Helix Nebula or Caldwell 63 with 3 hours and 40 minutes of exposure time on one shot colour. My first attempt at this one, and it needs more time to bring out some of the fainter details and reduce the noise. But a good start.

Leichhardt Dam

The dam wall on the Leichhardt River at Lake Moondarra. Levels are still high after a very big wet at the start of 2026.

Lake Moondarra

A relaxing afternoon on the shores of Lake Moondarra.

Bouldering

A bouldering session at my old climbing crag of Razorback was awesome fun.

Mary Kathleen Uranium

A wonderful stop on the way to Mount Isa at the old Mary Kathleen uranium mine.

Mount Isa

The stacks of Mount Isa. I had a few days off and made a trip up the road to my old home town for a visit.

Corella Dam

A sunset camp out at Corella Dam and the Clem Walton camping area.

Nearby to the Kalkadoon Memorial sits this Burke and Wills plaque marking a site they camped at.

Along the road to Mount Isa sits this memorial with some wise words.
