Milky way from Mullion Cove, Cornwall

[MKHACHFE]

Hi everyone,

I finally decided to share the milky way photo I took from Mullion Cove last autumn.

I initially wanted to take 120s subs, but a coast guard helicopter nipped that idea in the bud, it kept flying in my cameras field of view as it circled the area.

I was set up in front of a hotel and some lovely ladies I had spoken to while setting up came out a few times throughout the night to see how I was doing an if I needed anything. Very sweet of them.

I planned and waited for it to be positioned between the land masses.

 

Thanks for looking

Incredible skies down there. I wish I lived there instead of here in the 'illuminated' north.

Fantastic - glad you posted it!

Lots of lovely spots down there. 👍

Stunning image 👏, there's is some beautiful coastline town here, sadly I don't drive to make the most of it down the south of the county for MW images. 

Glad you enjoyed your stay 😊

Very nostalgic. I used to live on the south eastern part of The Lizard with its dark skies. I now enjoy stargazing from the cooler climes of Spain 😆

I was seeing a girl back in 1999 that lived in st.anthony, in the lizard. It's just so stunning down there...but a pain in the backside to get to from London. 😶

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
