The stars


Jonathan has just managed to get some great photos of the stars (using simply his camera and a tripod). He has photographed the Milky Way (see picture above) and has even managed to photograph the large and small Magallanic clouds. The stars are absolutely stunning tonight (the naked eye view is just as impressive as the photograph - the Milky Way is going directly overhead)!

Very glad to hear that you radio astronomers are gazing at the stars with your naked eye for once. Jonathan is a good influence at Parkes, it seems!
