Time Stood Still

This was the first time I've captured a completely clear sky above Knowlton Church in north Dorset. Having bumped into a pair of deep sky astrophotographers just packing up when I arrived, I had the place to myself, and established a close enough alignment with Polaris to work with 4-minute sky exposures. The core of the Milky Way no longer appears above the horizon this late in the year, but I'm encouraged with the improvements in my equatorial mount alignment and sure that I'll get to work with even longer exposures early next year.
