Astronomy photography, or more simply astrophotography is the process of capturing the heavens above – either on their own, or as in many of the works shown here, with terrestrial subjects (termed ‘nightscapes‘ by the wider community). Each of these images captures a specific moment in the evolution of the universe: stars, suns, moons, aurorae, and much in between. While we can’t see the universe with this level of fidelity through our unaided eyes, every day technology brings us closer.

lutruwita/Tasmania's 'pine' trees need no introduction to those in the know, especially the Pencil pine (Athrotaxis cupressoides) which grows only sporadically and can stand for thousands of years. Skies are rarely clear in their natural range, but when they are, their isolation and altitude makes them perfect subjects for astronomy. Seeing ancient light that has travelled longer than modern man has been alive rise over these survivors is a rare treat.

I’m not quite sure how I have taken 3 attempts at this photo over the course of several years and still not managed the result I want. Nonetheless, the result I did get is still pretty cool, no?

This photograph is becoming something of a nemesis for me. 3 times I have tried it, and 3 times I’ve encountered problems.
Still looks pretty cool tho’.
