Stir crazy

[Arvorphoto]

Getting a little stir crazy Due to the Lockdown and a dodgy hip, so some fresh air and gentle exercise at the local reservoir in the dark.
Milky Way core season is nearly on us so I wanted to refresh the skills of astrophotography.
This one is a single exposure looking up towards Ursa Major. It's surprising how much light pollution there is even in an area noted for relatively low light pollution
10 seconds

The blessing and curse of digital cameras. . They are excellent at picking up much more than can be seen by the naked eye, but unfortunately that extends to light pollution too.

From where you are you should get some good sightings.

Forgive my ignorance 'Milky Way core season is nearly on us so I wanted to refresh the skills of astrophotography.'

Is there a best time of year to capture the Milky Way?
