Why choose one of our prints over any other Astro Photography?
At Astro Photography Australia we intend to bring you unique photographs of the
Southern Hemisphere skies.
You will find that most astro photography available is either taken in the Northern
Hemisphere of Northern Hemisphere celstral objects or from space telescopes, however not
here at Astro Photography Australia. We intend to bring you a steady flow of fresh images
of the Southern Hemisphere skies, showing the expansive dark sky views associated with
Australia.
How long will my print take to be delivered?
Upon receiving your order we will notify you as to how long delivery may take. As a
general rule we will ship prints within 2 business days of receiving payment for the item and shipping. Add to that the shipping
time between Perth Western Australia and your location (within Australia usually under 5 working days
, to USA within 10 working days, to the UK within 10 working days). We welcome enquiries so feel free to contact us prior to purchase in order to check availability
