all the stars in the southern sky

Beachmere, Queensland view map

This was taken two hours before sunrise - with such dim light, the human eye does not perceive color. Thus the rich blue and red tones were not evident when i took this, the camera has an advantage here.

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D AF
6s f/4.0 at 20.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Outstanding, and in particular the stars, which look that much better for the fact that they aren't streaked. I always used to dream of seeing the southern stars when I was a junior astronomy nut, and I still haven't seen them :-(

Do you mean this was taken before sunrise or after sunset? Wouldn't "2 hours before sunset" mean it was still day time?

Aside from all that this is a great shot and, yes, the camera does see more than the eye, at times. Voted
