Loch More Milky Way

[saturn5]

My favourite dark sky location.Was hoping to spend a couple of hours out here tonight but the cloud rolled in after about 40 mins or so.

Got a few shots so it wasnt a wasted trip.The first shot was taken as the mily way first showed up beside the twilight on the right.

Cracking images. The second one is a real classic. Very jealous of your dark skies.

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing :-). I spent a week on the northern part of Skye last week, but regretfully never managed a decent view like that (darn clouds followed me north) - now I see what I missed!

Clouded out mate,got a few shots but nothing worth posting.I think i'm due a break on the aurora front.

Keep missing the decent displays for one reason or another.

Fingers crossed.... Looks like you have had a real soaking the last few days?

[Alastair Rae]

Wonderful. If I had skies like that I'd certainly give wide-field a go. Thanks for sharing.

Yep,its rained heavy here for a couple of days,missed the aurora storm from yesterday but tonight looks like there might

be some lengthy clear spells.The solar wind thats due to hit today will hopefully give us a repeat of last nights aurora.

I would be very surprised if it didnt.

I knew this must have been shot with a 5D to have grabbed that amount of detail from a static tripod.

A great pair of images.
