I managed to get a couple of days off and fitted in a short trip across the border into Cornwall. Thursday night we experienced the new moon, this was the first real chance of getting to see the Core of the Milky Way - it was a relatively short experience from 5:05 through to 5:43. A couple of shots from the evening...
Started off at Goonhilly Earth Station, on the Lizard, this is a partner with ESA in the Lunar Pathfinder mission, complete with a nice view of Orion overhead...
The Churchyard at Gunwalloe Church Cove
We then trekked down to the beach at Kynance Cove - a bit of a hike loaded with kit... We are looking due South, the green colour in the sky is known as Air Glow it is the faint emission of light by our atmosphere!
Finally the Core of the Milky Way shot from below the Lighthouse - Lizard Point
And finally a quick selfie - an astro portrait
These are a quick couple of edits from several hundred shots, happy to take comments & questions
