Astrophotography. Bright, Victoria, Australia "Dark Sky"


Just a few shots from "Bright" Victoria.

Bright is a 19th century gold mining town in the Alpine region of Victoria Australia.
Today it focuses on Wine Making, Produce, outdoor activities in the summer and winter.

It's a long way from city lights, so the skies are nice and dark.
Dark Skies mean a lot less post processing, to remove "Light Polution" and better imaging quality in general.
