Stacked into one image. This shoot took 6 months of planning to finally capture, 2 attempts stopped by weather, 1 attempt where my shutter speed wasn’t fast enough and the ISS was blurred.

The delicate glowing rim of IC 4685 and subtle areas of reflection nebulae were captured and processed marvelously.Benjamin’s comments: This fascinating area, right next to the Lagoon Nebula (M8), sometimes referred to as the "toes" of the Lagoon, features various dark squiggly lanes and small features that suggest a vast cosmic calligraphy. This image was processed as an HDR image, combining various length exposures using Luminance, Red, Green and Blue filters to achieve a natural colour palette.Well done Benjamin on the award and enjoy spending your $1000 Sky-Watcher voucher.

Please visit Daniel’s page to see his amazing work. www.instagram.com/danieltgum/ @danieltgumTrevor from @astrobackyard comment was: I chose this image because of: Overall composition, Processing of the night sky and DSO’s,Unique vantage point The image is truly breathtaking from any view!!Daniels comments, This is my favourite nightscape image to date. Mungo is a 12 hour drive away from my home in Sydney, but those Bortle 1 skies are the best I've ever witnessed at night and photographed. I had perfect conditions for three straight nights with really good seeing throughout. I planned this setting milky way panorama using PhotoPills during the day, but later decided to use the blue hour blend for the foreground with a tracked sky for the cleanest possible image.Well done Daniel on the title and enjoy your new Skywatcher Esprit 100mm Telescope. Congratulations to all that were shortlisted by Trevor.
