Lake Atkinson - Sep18

This might be my last astro shoot for the year before the Milky Way is in a less optimal position. After photographing at Lake Moogerah numerous times, I decided to check out other locations within a 1.5 hour drive of Brisbane.

Lake Atkinson, about 1 hour west of the city, is a naturally forming lagoon across the Buabara Creek. There is quite a lot of bird life around here, but it also offered an excellent spot for star gazing and astro imaging. While not being as dark sky as Lake Moogerah, it made a nice change.

Enjoy the astro images - a couple are vertical panoramas stitched in Lightroom.
