Geoglossum cookeanum, Styx Valley

Geoglossum cookeanum

Geoglossum cookeanum, also known as “Earth Tongues”, are quite a striking black fungi. They often grow alongside nice green moss and the shapes are quite varied so as it turns out they are quite a good fungi to point a camera at from time to time! I’ve often thought they look like licorice, particularly the...Read More

Aurora October 11 2024

Comet Tsuchinshan ATLAS Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3)

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) is making a buzz (figuratively not literally!) as it appears in the pre-dawn skies these past few weeks, and I was able to capture it at Eaglehawk Neck on October 3. This image was captured with the Astro Tracer, which allowed me to shoot for 30 seconds without the comet/stars trailing....Read More
