Hi all,
Thougth I'd process this series of photo's from October. It shows the Moon (wa a thin crescent) setting benieth the Milky Way.

Probably a bit of twilight down the bottom too, as well as a little light pollution.
The sight was stunning in real life. I walked out of our cottage to see the moon setting on the clear evening wth Milky Way above, quite spectacular.
Taking the photo was quite rushed. Because I hadn't realised this was going to be taking place I was casually eating dinner then had to rush to set up the AstroTrac when I saw it. Lucky i only took a couple of mins to whip it out and get it tracking. Still missed a few good shots though.
It was on the field at Astro Camp so people all around clicking away with the photo's and admiring the sight.
Roger.
