Milky Way Hunt #3

Day 1: tookapic.com/photos/459964 Day 2: tookapic.com/photos/460003

Yay for the weekend, no work! I decided to head back to Malmsbury again for the last night of awesome astronomy forecasts. This time I did something different.... I went during the day! It's quite a nice town. The benefit of going so early was I actually had a chance to navigate around without relying on torchlight. This time I was able to go up and find the viaduct without getting lost! Or getting attacked by barbed wire. Of course, as is the nature of the last few nights, it wasn't perfect - I got to the viaduct and the clouds came over. :(

The other benefit of being there during the day is I could actually see what other landmarks are around, like this reservoir. So possibly in future I will be able to come back here again and get some awesome shots.

Also, yes, I am kicking myself due to the overexposure of the horizon.
