Mount Agung, Bali’s majestic active volcano, last erupted in June 2019. I planned a photography trip to capture the Milky Way with the volcano as a stunning backdrop. After a two-hour ride, I arrived in Tulamben, where I caught a breathtaking sunset at an event—luckily with free entry—before setting up for an unforgettable night of astrophotography.
After an early dinner in Pakisan, I prepared for a night of star photography with my Fujifilm X-T5. Finding a remote spot, I captured stunning images of the Milky Way. The experience, enhanced by the serene surroundings, resulted in breathtaking photos that I later marveled at while editing.

On a serene new moon night in Pekutatan, Bali, I used my Fujifilm X-T5 to photograph the Milky Way. The scene featured a stone lantern amidst lush plants under a starry sky. Capturing the cosmic beauty, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and connection to the universe.
I visited Tasmania to capture the Aurora Australis and Milky Way, staying at Maingon Bay lookout. Despite cold and fatigue, I managed to photograph some green and red sky hues. My friend Swan supported me throughout. Australia, especially Tasmania, offers breathtaking astrophotography opportunities, making it a favorite destination.

An individual set out on a journey to capture the beauty of the Milky Way from the pristine Pelaga Eco Park in Bali.

And in the realm of astrophotography lies a technique as enchanting as the stars themselves – the art of star trail photography. A sibling to astrophotography, this art demands patience as exposure times stretch beyond 15 minutes. A dance of intervals captures the passage of stars, weaving a mesmerizing tapestry of celestial trails. My own endeavors in this domain culminated in a star trails image, a testament to the universe’s timeless ballet.
