Milky Way from Devon

[brancusi]

It's an old photo from 2011, but it reminds me how poor the skies here in London are and what fantastic skies are still possible elsewhere in the UK when conditions are right. This is a pair of 1 min exposures aligned more for artistic than pure astronomical requirements, so try not to be too offended by the lack of accuracy! The pair of original photos were taken on a Nikon D90 with the 10.5mm fisheye lens on a basic tripod.

Thanks for looking!

AH!!  So that's what the Devon night sky looks like when it's clear   I do seem to remember something like that but it's been sooooo loooong since I've seen it
