| 29th November 2009 ma minty | Koeksisters - From: Day 304-306: Karamea, New Zealand Geluk my kind! Jou koeksisters lyk fantasties! |
| 29th November 2009 twotravelbugs | - From: Day 301-303 Karamea, New Zealand love the night shots! Yes, Orion is "upside down" down here, and the Pleiades sounds about right. You have an awesome night sky down there. |
| 28th November 2009 beinak | Great photos! - From: Day 301-303 Karamea, New Zealand Great pan too. Unbelievable shows the constellation 'Orion' which looked a little odd to me at first until I realized it is 'upside down' given my northern hemisphere perspective! Cool. I think the Three Sisters are actually the Seven Sisters (The Pleiades). It looks like the head of 'Taurus the Bull' between the the Seven Sisters and the three bright stars in Orions belt. Great photos bringing back fond memories of tropical star gazing. Thanks. |
