(meteorobs) Great fireball photo(s) on APOD

[stange]

Belatrix is right.

Australia is one of the few places on earth that can capture the full glory 
of the milky way without domestic(ambient) lighting ruining the photograph 
contrast & detail.

Other than the insert, I do not believe any massaging was done on that 
photo. I have seen supurb photos of the MW from Austrailia before on 
Astronomy websites and they do not need low Lux cameras in long exposure or 
any touchup. A plain camera will do it.

The backlighting of the foreground brush was probably from a small camping 
light.
