I was more than happy to undertake a 4 am stint to capture this image of Corfe Castle with a Milky Way backdrop. The level of light pollution from the village was far less than I expected. Montage of two exposures for the sky and for the f/g which was pretty dark. Passing cars did light it up but not to my liking so it was 4min @ ISO 1600. As well as a bright passing satellite I might have caught a stray Lyrid meteor.
My thanks to Tony Cowburn, Dorset 'Star Chasers' forum on Facebook for the inspiration for this shot.
I can see it in the *stars*: this entry will *zip* me into the next round!

Big, beautiful and bold, the colors in the streaming aurora were a little surprising but very welcome.
Better lens this time, very reliable standby Sigma 1:18 14mm.

This is the end of the light show from "On Fire". The short but intense fireworks ended with the most yummy pinks in the sky I have ever seen.

I captured this 9-shot panorama of the Milky Way from Shenandoah National Park last night, on a night so clear and dark that the band was hard to miss with the naked eye. This view captures a full 180 degrees with the galactic core (right) rising up from due south and arching over the horizon to just shy of due north. The brightest spot on the horizon is the Washington DC metro, about 75 mi away.
This was my first adventure to White Pocket in Arizona. All I can say is WOW! This place is otherworldly and then add the Milkyway to it and you have a whole other experience. I will be returning to explore this area more in the future.
If you are planning to visit this location, make sure you check the weather first and have a 4x4 to get there. The road is very sandy and can be hard to travel on, so be prepared.

I am so happy this made "EXPLORER"
Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!
This night at Tacking Point was definitely one of the moments why I love photography and go the extent that I do. One could see the Milky Way with the naked eye while a thunderstorm was raging out over the sea.
