Milky Way Rhoscolyn Lookout

[Gerr]

I was up here on 12th May (01:30hrs) waiting for the Arc and galactic core to appear before the Moon did! Been waiting some time to get me a panorama of our galaxy in ‘rainbow’ fashion. The coastguard lookout post was quite a decent and elevated focal point for the foreground and would of been rude not to get myself in the picture too!!!

Taken with a Canon 6D (modded), Startracker and Rokinon 24mm lens.

Foreground 3x images at ISO 800 f5.6, landscape orientation at 150secs. Plus 1x image of a selfie (ISO 1600, 30secs).

Sky 7x images tracked at ISO 640 f4, portrait orientation at 120secs.

No calibration images or stacking of images due to limited time.

Processed in Lightroom, PTGui and Photoshop.

Hope u like. CC’s welcome.

Great Panorama, looks like you are in Chile, not Anglesey!
 

I love the Andromeda galaxy, just poking above the clouds on the horizon.👍

Thank you. The xtra’s include a meteor or two and the Rho Ophiuchi complex too.!!

I like very much! What a great composition and so good to get the core nice and in-light-polluted right down to the horizon. Placing yourself in the image definitely brings it together. Great job. 👏👏

Thanks, would love to have more opportunities but night time now so short! Took long enough to get this one with our UK weather and then the processing after!!
