Just trying to orient myself, is that  area towards the bottom the Sagittarius Star Cloud? It's one of my favourite regions of the sky and glorious in binoculars when a bit darker.

I think this is the Sagittarius star cloud arrowed. I've gone back in Sky safari and looked at the positions and the teapot and think it is.

Thanks, I thought it might be. I love these wide, rich field views.

Thank you. These were just before we lost astro darkness so around 2.30am at the time. Since we've lost astro dark my imaging scope has been mothballed until it returns so I've really been enjoying taking my dslr and Samyang lens about the village to get some nice Widefield views of twilight and Widefield Nightscapes around my village.

Very nice Lee. Glad you were careful next to that quarry 😳! A very natural edit as well 👍.

Thank you so much Paul. I was definitely safe, there's a fence all the way around. Wouldn't stop you if you climbed over, but on the sheer drop sides there is a higher chain link fence. Like everything, respect your surroundings 😊.
