Description

Haven't had much luck with weather lately (it's a so-called 'La Nina' in Australia which effectively means lots of rain, terrible seeing and all-round misery for everyone except farmers and raincoat manufacturers). However, the clouds parted for six hours one night, and I used all six hours (polar aligning through clouds before-hand) to shoot Tarantula. Wasn't able to get away from my suburban home, but the light pollution was cut down by the excellent filter. I am happy with how this turned out, hope you enjoy!
