The Milky Way

[The Thing]

Single JPG 30s at ISO 1600. Literally a grab shot as I stuck my head out of the observatory/shed to go to bed at 2:30am CET. It was the clearest sky for a long time. Camera and tripod were handy so I started snapping. Bortle 4 / SQM 21.67 apparently. And the streetlights all  go off at 21:30 to 06:30

Nice shot Duncan. You're so lucky with your street lights going off.

Just goes to show what we are missing
