Warrumbungle National Park in central western NSW has been recognised as Australia’s first Dark-Sky Park, where you can see “the full array of visible sky phenomena”.
In the southern hemisphere, aiming a camera south creates a star trail with concentric circular streaks centred on the south celestial pole.
