Love it. That's a " Wish I'd done it " Image.

Dave.

Thank you very much Dave, kind words indeed ?

Shot under the light polluted skies of Howden Reservoir, I've tried to tease out as much of the MW as I can without going too OTT - this spot (53.4426 N - 1.7484 W, 282m elevation) would normally be under around 2 meters of water! ?

Mars is visible just above the tree line on the left.

Vertical 2 frame panorama stitched in PS. Canon 6D, Samyang 14mm f/2.8 wide open. The top 80% or so of sky  is made up of 10 frames captured using an iOptron Skytracker - ISO 2500, 30s, registered and stacked in PI. Foreground and bottom 20% or so of horizon/sky is a single shot at ISO 800, f/11 30s exposure.

Thanks for looking!

Many thanks Paul, really glad you like it!

Thanks very much for your kind words Steve, I really appreciate them!

I've haven't had much luck with this target in the past (this is my fourth crack at it), probably due to my attempts to capture it when too low in the sky. Dark skies really help too!

Cheers and clear skies

Lovely widefield James, nice one!
