Milky way arch snowdonia

[Daniel-K]

Headed out after work last night in chance of capturing the arch for the last time before summer nights really take a grip.  I had a idea of a location and it worked out better than planned.   theres a slight glow to the north ( left of the image)  as the auroa kicked off at 1:30am  sadly the mountain was in my way but i like the purple hue's.

thank you, not bad for a first time visit in the dark. i think without the moon it would have been even better as it caused a bit a gradient.  One for the note book i think for next year

Stunning, you need to enter that into as many competitions as possible.

Thanks John, its ok but i feel i can do better. if was a first visit and really didn't expect to capture much. i did'nt even make it the way around the lake to my intentional POI  which im slightly annoyed at because if i had, the shot i had planned would of had some more aurora in. but its a cracking spot for winter so you will see it later in the year.

awsome danny ,as always 😁

Superb Danny. Nice capture 

[Ouroboros]

Fabulous image.  Competition level definitely. I'm amazed  it's so good given the presence of the Moon.  I guess it helped that you were looking North and the Moon was in the south west.

There was a big hill behind us, blocking most of the low moon

By the time August comes around it's too high and making a panoramic image of it is a real pita. This image was about 15 images. The last time I tried in August it took 51 images to fit.

Although it's still May... but I see what you mean. A 50 frame pano is NO fun.

Very, very nice!  Love it.

The foreground works well without detracting from the Milky Way.

One I really wish that I had taken.

Excellent!

Nice one Dan. It’s got everything. You’ll be giving up the day job soon!

Must have taken a while to find that spot.
