The starry sky above the Ayers Rock (Uluru) in Australia is one of the most impressing skies in the world. The reason for this is, that in the australian outback there is no artifical light that could interfere with the dark night sky. In addition the southern hemisphere offers some spectacular sky objects, such as the magellanic clouds and the famous constellation namend Southern Cross. The milky way has so much power that is even is visible when the moon is shining. The moonset looks like a sunset a bit, because there are some small clouds hiding it. When the moon disappeared, the milky way arouses it's whole spectrum of colors and shows all it's beauty. The center of our galaxy slowly lays down above the famous rock, until the milky way finally sets down and lets the Magellanic Clouds rule the field. First, the Small Magellanic Cloud floats into the video, until the Large Magellanic Cloud follows soon. Bevore the sun rises again, there are some clouds passing. This is a nice oppurtunity to notice that there is really no light pollution at all in the australian outback: The clouds are black, because normally when there are even only some artifical light sources, the clouds are enlightend from the bottom so strongly, that they turn red or orange.

The Uluru (or Ayers rock) unfortunately is quite far away from my place of capture (about 22km). The reason for this is, that I did not get a permit for staying a night in the Uluru National Park.

  • is that what you would see on a typical night there? just amazing...

  • @Nassault630 Oh I'm not retreating, I'm merely pointing out your immature comments that's all. It started, afterall, as a joke...which you took to heart...I'm sorry about that ol' chap, didn't know you were so gullible.

  • @ledzeppelin4892000 Don't retreat to maturate comebacks, you're as much as fault as I am.

    And the aperture was probably just at F/8.

  • @Nassault630 So it has to do with aperture?...see, we can have a mature conversation...at least, one of us can.

  • @ledzeppelin4892000 Also, let me clear up more of why you're an ignorant skumdick. A 30 second exposure of the moon with make the moon appear as if it's a sun. Remember that the moon reflects sunlight? What do you think 30 seconds of sunlight will do? Make the moon fucking bright. You have to take atleast a 1/500+ photo of the moon to make out any detail, but by making an exposure of that time, no stars or landscape would be seen. I KNOW I'm not the fucking moron, moron.

  • @ledzeppelin4892000 Clearly you have no expeience with long exposure photography. Because, unlike you, I do. Each one of these frames is probably at least a 15 to 30 second exposure. If you noticed in the beginning of the video, the orange light on the bottom right is the ambient light of the recently set sun, and then the moon sets there. If you can prove to me why sunlight is coming from the horizon before the "sun" is even close to settings, I will chop off my own cock, and send you photos.

  • @Nassault630 I don't recall the moon causing the sky and clouds to turn orange near the horizon...hmmm, I guess I'm not the fucking moron, moron.

  • @ledzeppelin4892000 that's the moon you fucking moron.

  • OMG!! Such a beautiful view.

  • I don't remember seeing the milky way with the sun next to it =\
