possible

u can try

Finally a thread dedicated to milkyway

i've been to sekinchan a few times to try my luck to capture that cluster of stars..

unfortunately 3 out of 3 times also kena ruin by the damn clouds!

anyhow nowadays sekinchan doesnt seem to be the best place to capture milkyway anymore as the light polution there is getting worst...

Do you guys go for group star shooting? would like to tag along if there is any

yes sekinchan always cloudy

i kinda hate this location, if u want try ur luck u can go there shoot milky way .. haha

pls share your milky way location , so i can put at the 1st post

Well.. the only place i've been to try my hands on milky way shots was only Sekinchan

The most annoying thing about sekinchan is... when the sky is clear.. the milky way wasnt up yet.. and when its get cloudy the milky way was up there!

I guess i will have better luck joining you guys for the next outing, if any

I recall someone said about Cameron Highland but I'm not sure which part though.

just came back from a simple shooting trip.

this is why u do not wan to shoot with a moon in the sky. (moon is 40% crescent, or 6th lunar day)



this was shot at around 10pm. so much light pollution from the moon


edit: btw, the pic is not edited. its direct jpeg out from camera.... zero edit

Penang Monkey Beach.

nice,

put here more nice pic

is it safe there?

Should I consider changing my cam for shooting distant objects at nite?

i think a lot of the mountain top is generally free from light pollution, pick those away from city and have an open top.

I shoot this at Tip of Borneo in March...3am...look for sagittarius (that is the heart of the milky way) I was told...shoot with A6000+kit lens

10 more days for good shooting period (minimum light pollution from the moon)

haze condition is very seriuos here, im still waiting for the clear sky

Recently the haze in KL has reduced a little, way better than last week, hope is a good sign

That huge globe is earth?

Yeah Sagittarius A is where the supermassive blackhole located right in the center, stars draw into it gravitational pull and traffic is heavy there, that's why it quite bright

Yup its a stone globe...famous land mark over there

Come across this website while researching... pretty good info and it is available in PDF format for reference!
