Photographers search for dark skies in the most remote landscapes to find places where the galaxy shines with extraordinary clarity. They share not only their breathtaking results but also their methods, trials and adventures
Night at the Remarkables
The galactic centre of the Milky Way, composed of billions of stars, gas and dust, rises above an icy, ancient landscape deep within Aoraki/Mount Cook national park in New Zealand, part of the largest Gold Tier Dark Sky Reserve in the world. This was one of the most remarkable scenes I have experienced in over seven years of astrophotography. The stillness, clarity and calm of the night stood in stark contrast to a place more often defined by its wild and unpredictable nature.Photograph: Tom Rae
