Meteor Shower (Comet 46P / Wirtanen)

13/12/2023 by Kiwi

There was a meteor shower last night and New Zealand was in prime spot to observe it. Comet 46P / Wirtanen had gone too close to Jupiter in 1972 and the debris from that event was hitting Earth last night - having taken 51 years to get here!

Hydroplane Boats at Lake Maraetai

11/12/2023 by Kiwi

I caught wind that there was going to be a boat regatta on at Lake Maraetai over the weekend - and I was in the neighbourhood. Not only that, but there were going to be hydroplane boats there too!

Astrophotography in New Zealand - South Waikato - Atiamuri

On a cold night in April I went out to capture a bit of Astrophotography. First time in ages that there was no clouds or moon to ruin things. It was the coldest night of the year so far and the car reckoned it was 1 deg C at times, but it was well worth it. As the fog rolled in from the nearby Waikato River, I captured the centre of the Milky Way near Atiamuri in the Central … [Read more...] about Astrophotography at Atiamuri

Wombling about Piha

03/01/2023 by Kiwi

For a couple of days I stayed in the Campground out at Piha, in West Auckland. One day out trekking and this was the view back into Lion Rock. … [Read more...] about Wombling about Piha
