I had just taken off from Port Keats (Northern Territory, Australia) at night and recognised the constellation of Scorpius in the south eastern sky. I looked in the opposite direction and was surprised to see the constellation of Orion. Consistent with the mythology behind their naming, these two c…

Astronomer / pilots, eh! Tough crowd! Maybe all that pesky dark energy is to blame. Seriously though, I can’t say I have noticed any glaring celestial errors. But then again I cannot claim to be that keen an observer. Maybe it’s a hemispherical question. I’m up north [as they say round 'ere]. R…

Good steer. Just voted. Thanks.

It matches positions of stars and the moon perfectly with real life based on your p…

[image] Crunchmeister71: Long time astrophotographer here. Awesome, nice to find a fellow cloud-curser here! :smiley: (I got a rig in a remote obsy in southern Europe for AP) [image] Crunchmeister71: Agreed. It doesn’t really look great under closer scrutiny, unfortunately. But at least…

Yeah, the view of the Milky Way over bright urban areas is pretty unrealistic. I try to not let it bother me, but it still rubs me the wrong way when I see it. A bit off topic, but somewhat related since we’re on the topic of the skies, if you want to take a gander at my stuff… Dark Arts Astrophoto…
