More pictures looking to the heavens

Back in 2017, I wrote a post on beginner astrophotography as I was just getting into the hobby. It was mostly a collection of my very first Milky Way pictures that I took at the time. Since then I have been taking more pictures of the Milky Way, and some occasional pictures of the moon, planets and the aurora. So here's an update of my latest selected pictures in the same format as last time, with details in the caption.

This picture was taken at Cape Schanck, one of my favorite places to capture the stars. It's a single exposure with light painting, so the staircase is out of focus. 

One of may favorite pictures taken under perfect conditions. Moon was out on the opposite side of the Milky Way to illuminate the landscape perfectly. Location: Flinders

This is the first picture in which I was able to capture the reflection of the stars in water. Location: Lake Eildon. 

The daytime moon captured through my telescope. I attached the camera into the eyepiece of the telescope with a lens adapter. 

Two photos of Jupiter and Saturn also taken from my telescope. I recorded a short video and processed it using PIPP and AutoStakkert to create these images. Haven't done planetary imaging since, but I do hope to try it out again sometime soon. 

A photo captured from my balcony one evening showing earthshine on the moon. 

The rising moon captured using a telephoto lens without a tripod. 

My first attempt at capturing star trails. This is a single exposure taken over approximately 12 minutes. Photo taken at Lake Eildon. 

This is my first attempt to capture the Aurora. The pink glow is the Aurora Australis seen from the Southern Coast of Flinders. 

This picture shows the recent lunar eclipse- the blood moon, as seen from Flinders shortly after sunset on 8 November 2022.
