Perception

This image was taken by Rogelio Andrea on the 7th June, 2013.  It was a composite taken over many hours to make sure all the stars of the Milky Way showed to advantage. I posted this and thought it was beautiful.
 
Rogelio re-visited his 'Galaxy Cove' on the 20th June, 2014 and another fantastic photograph of the Milky Way was born.

Very pretty but far from the romance of the composite night images is the same place in daylight. The Big Sur coast of California is a great place for rugged sea views but I'd have to fly there so I'll stick with the photos.

Stunning. Amazing. And rather a lot of other superlatives. Thank you.

EC, he sits in the one place all night just taking shot after shot.
I know you're happy, I've seen the temperatures for the Canberra mornings.

That's not a bad idea, sitting in one place taking shot after shot all night.
I'm rather pleased he does this. I love the first photo very much.
I don't think I could do it though, no matter how good the photos might be.

Coppy you don't have to endure air security for Big Sur, The Milky Way is visible like that from here too.
I saw it right across the sky one still night coming back uphill late on Bin Night. It was stupendous and i thought "ah so that's what it's all about".

River, there's something that goes on the camera that makes the shot every few seconds or minutes. But he still has to be there in the dark.

Annie, you are lucky to be up bush. We get no dark skies here for the Galaxy just Melbourne chewing up electricity. The last time I looked up on bin night I fell over the bin.

Welcome back Davoh, you'd have some good night skies out the back o' Bourke, meteorites, International Space Station, US stealth bombers, drones from their secret bases we aren't supposed to know exist in OZ. That's just to give ASIO robots something to look at in their blog roamings.
