A modest Cygnus

[Ludd]

I was a bit cast down by the lack of clear nights when we were down in Cornwall earlier this month.  I saw one Perseid, and had a few hours on the beach at Flushing Cove to take a few shots of the sky.  Here's the one single exposure that actually gives an idea of how dark the skies can be.  Plenty of the red hydrogen stuff (unmodded 600D) and a glimpse of the Veil.
