Honoured and humbled to have my image on the front cover of December-January 2025 Australian Photography magazine, and if you’re curious, there’s a little interview inside about my favourite astro focal length (and honestly, most of my photography)

700+ images. 5 hours under the stars. One unforgettable night.
Last Saturday’s workshop delivered crystal-clear skies and a Milky Way that absolutely stole the show. 🌌
And we’re doing it all again tomorrow night. Fingers crossed for another clear sky! 🤞

🚨David Grusch: Australian National Archives. I encourage people to read page 7 through 16 (Link Inc)
"There is a declassified 1971 Australian formally classified secret assessment that a couple years ago was put in the Australian National Archives. I encourage people to read page 7 through 16 and that was the nuclear branch chief of the Australian government discussing the US coverup and the involvement of the CIA back in the 70s. And that's actually a little known document that is publicly available." -Grusch

Besides the usual magic of the Milky Way, Saturday night we were treated to a bit of a surprise, an appearance from the Aurora Australis, subtle, but unmistakably there.

Nothing to see here, just a usual night sky in Canberra.

Insane rainbow appeared out of nowhere over Gungahlin this afternoon.
I was out riding my bike with my daughter, spotted it, and we both just stopped… one of those “wow” moments.
Look at those colours… unreal!

Posted an Aurora Australis timelapse over Canberra the other day and somehow the soundtrack is getting a lot of love. Made it months ago just playing around late at night. If you’re curious, have a listen ☺️

A spectacular display of the Aurora Australis exploded across the Canberra skies in glowing pinks last night.
I couldn’t resist sharing these before heading to bed.
Did you see it, or capture it yourself?

That monster storm cell definitely gave us a moment 😅
But as always, the beast arrived with a bit of beauty, sunlight breaking through at just the right time, revealing a magnificent double rainbow. You’ll need to look closely to spot parts of the second arch.
