Wicklow Way night sky

[Crackabarrel]

Went camping in the Wicklow Way this weekend, lovely dark clear skies.

First Image is the constellation of Cassiopeia featuring the Andromeda Galaxy (20sec exposure ISO1600)

Second Image being the Milky Way with the North American Nebula (15sec exposure ISO1600)

Shot with a Nikon D5300 and Sigma 18-35 f1.8

Thanks for looking.

Was very happy to see so much of it pop up on the camera's lcd alright.

[ItsmeMaw]

Those are incredible!

 

[Crackabarrel]

Thank you, appreciate it.

Fabulous! Quite inspiring what you can achieve with a single frame unguided (I'm assuming!). I can see I'm gonna have to head to Wicklow!

[Crackabarrel]

Cheers, yes they are unguided.

Glenmalure Valley and the Ballinashoge Waterfall are worth a visit, Glenmalure Lodge B&B was about 5 minutes from our camp site.

Super pictures! Lovely part of the world by day or night.

I love MW images vertically through trees and these are lovely. ESP with M31 in shot. Very close to where my father-in-law lives too.

That first one is stunning. If you'd pasted an image of M31 on to it you couldn't have positioned it better. I think we need to see some more of Wicklow. Please.

Thank you, hoping to get out there a bit more during the winter, really is a beautiful part of the country.
