Some of my favourites.
A time lapse of the night sky over Brisbane. Despite the light dome, the Pleiades star cluster is seen and Mars also makes an appearance.
This time lapse occurs during a conjunction between Venus and the Pleiades. The star colours have been boosted using vibrance and saturation.
A train of over 50 satellites pass the moon over Brisbane.
Here are some astrophotography tools I wrote that you might find useful.

Hi, my name is Dennis Mellican. I am based in Brisbane, Australia. During the day I am Principal Cloud Engineer and after hours I tend to avoid clouds, preferring a clear night sky to observe the universe.
Since 2022, I have gained an interest in astronomy and the hobby has become a passion. I’ve been standing on the shoulders of giants, learning the science and the craft (astrophotography is an art form). My contributions are a way of giving back to the community.
