  • If you were viewing from a location with close to zero light pollution, and your eyes were adjusted for good night vision (about 20 minutes without any light source interference) around the time of a new moon then you would see about 70%.

    What you may not see are the subtle colours of the stars and in star 'clouds' as our colour vision falls off at such low levels of luminosity.

  • Yep, it was shot at Siding Springs Observatory in New South Wales, Australia. If you look closely you can see the Southern Cross bottom of frame RHS as it gets briefly covered by cloud.
