It feels surreal standing next to these 5 megastructures observing the universe. I have become friends with the senior scientist who operates the telescopes and I was allowed to wander the grounds at night. On this night the telescopes were programmed to collect data from the galactic centre of the Milky Way tracking the Earths movements.
I had been here a few times previously, once walking inside the large dish just like in the movie "The Dish" capturing a panorama from within. This time, I planned to photograph the full observatory from the ground to showcase the observatory at work.
At this time of year the Milky Way stretched vertically with the bright core directly above. To capture enough images to compose this photograph I collected 20 wide angle images totalling almost a full 360° view.
You can see the Milky Way arching in full stretching across the sky vertically as at this time we are directly facing the galactic centre of our solar system from Earth. This view is best seen in the middle of the year in Australia.

A 16 piece collection by multi-award winning Milky Way Landscape Photographer David Magro.
A Cluster of Stars is a small collection of 8 years photographing the Milky Way over diverse Australian landscapes. Each photograph requires precise planning to align the foreground with the distant Milky Way 26,000 light years away. This alignment occurs on select nights of the year when no moon is visible in the sky and when Earth faces the centre of our galaxy after dark. Most photographs have taken years for elements to align with good viewing conditions.
Each night you are under the stars it provides you with a surreal experience watching the night sky once your eyes adjust. Meteors light up across the sky, stars rhythmic twinkle, constellations rise and fall and you get a sense of calm looking out into its vastness. Time passes by quickly.
I present 16 minted 1/1 photographs and time-lapses showcasing the Milky Way.
