A night at Wadi Rum

[AndyC]

Fortunate to spend a fantastic night under the stars at Wadi Rum whilst on Holiday in Jordan.

Blisteringly hot during the day, comfortable to cool overnight, only visited by dung beatles and a desert fox in the night.

The evening was fairly breezy and there seemed to be a fair bit of dust so not as clear as a previous evening in Petra.

Once the moon rose it washed evrying out, efore that happened I decided to try a few pics with the EOS 1000

propped up on a sand bag for 25 seconds or so to see what it could see, the results post tinkering are in my album

Pity you didn't have a tracking mount, judging by your shots the skies were great.

Nice. I had clouds most of the time I was there so I'm doubly envious.
