Milkyway & Shooting Stars in Summer - Free Solo Photo

** Let's meet in the Corner of Spencer Street and Bourke Street (Station Side - Near the steps) at 8:15 PM and take the Vline to Little River (Geelong Line). Make sure you bring your Myki. You'll only need $4.40 on your myki as it is in Zone 2. You don't need to top-up if you have a Myki Zone 1+2 pass. Camera is optional as I take solo photos for everyone with the Milkyway for free. I will also be carrying an astronomical binoculars.

The Milky Way Galaxy is one of the most interesting naked eye sights in the night sky. We live under light-polluted skies and to see a glimpse of the Milkyway, we need to travel outside the city.
How to view the Milkyway:
Stay outside in full darkness for a few minutes, then look up. There will be a faint "river" of light crossing the sky. That's the Milky way. Full dark adaptation occurs after 30 minutes of not seeing any source of light, but this is not required for seeing our galaxy.
The plan is to take the 8:40 PM Geelong Train and get off at Little River Station at 9:19 PM. Return trains at 10:39 PM and 11:24 PM.
We may be able to see International Space Station (ISS) during this event.
