Warrumbungle - International Dark Sky Park

Warrumbungle National Park is Australia's only Dark Sky Park.
Its iconic mountain range originated from an extinct shield volcano and it's the perfect destination for bushwalking, climbing and stargazing.
It hosts Australia's largest optical telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, part of the Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics (RSAA) at the Australian National University (ANU).
I spend few nights in the area (and one night at the Observatory) to try and capture the essence of this beautiful area.
Special thanks to NSW National Parks and Siding Spring Observatory.

Actually just incredible. Would love to go. Don't see it happening any time soon. Why does this vid not have 1million views??

[@FilippoRivetti]

Thanks!!! You should go now till November so you can see the Milky Way core! Share it around so I can get to 1mil views :)

[@aidannorth]

Amazing photography & video! I hope to visit the Warrumbungle some day as it looks beautiful and the observatories are fascinating...

[@FilippoRivetti]

Thanks! Definitely worth a visit!

gorgeous timelapse footing and doco, cheers

[@FilippoRivetti]

Thanks André!

I'll never forget this place. I flew to Australia in 2016 and drove to Warruumbungle to stargaze. I ended up taking some LSD and sitting on the picnic table in the middle of a field, surrounded by kangaroos, full moon as well. Absolutely one of the most important, spiritual, pivotal, surreal moments of growth in my life.

Hi! I'll be going to Australia january and I'd llllove to go exactly where you've been! Would it be possible for you to pin point me the location? Hearing about your experience, tho narrated with just a few sentences, really got deep into me, because I'm sure it would've been so magical for me too!

[@KayEraMusiq]

That's amazing🥺

[@australiancycletours]

Excited for our new cycling tours in the Warrumbungles! Great video Filippo!

[@rbmedia8798]

[@FilippoRivetti]

thank you!

[@andreacapoferri5760]

Spettacolare....come al solito bellissimo lavoro...

[@FilippoRivetti]

Grazie Andrea!

[@mikediao1244]

cool

[@WalkaboutLife]

Fantastic video; I’m working on a similar project in west texas soon. Getting the stars and a foreground object such as observatory in the last shot to all be in focus is a challenge. Do those pictures have to be stacked somehow or is the sky dark enough that aperture can be closed up? Im blown away and fascinated great job.

[@FilippoRivetti]

Thanks! No stacking required, if you shoot with a 15mm lens at f/2.8 (on full frame) your hyperfocal distance is less than 3 meters!

[@darealbinreaper1923]

I am going to cherry springs state park in the us to do shrooms and stargaze

[@nickshrestha1502]

Hey Fillipo I am planning to visit this place to watch night sky and see the Milky Way!! I am currently in Sydney!! Any suggestions on what to expect when I go there??

[@FilippoRivetti]

Nick Shrestha the video should give you an idea 😉 beautiful hikes and rock formations! Amazing dark skies

[@rachkate76]

Actually Nick if you look up the international dark sky parks you’ll see there’s two here in Australia. Coonabarabran in western NSW and one in Punyelroo in SA near Big Bend. With the recent flooding in NSW and Qld I’d recommend SA.

[@nickshrestha1502]

@@rachkate76 Thanks Rach! Will do some more Research about the NSW one because SA is bit too far for me!

[@marshallmarthes]

What is the best time to visit?

[@FilippoRivetti]

For Milky Way photography best is between April and October!
