My first night out on my holiday I ended up here at Ham Hill in Somerset. Originally my plan was to do some steel wool spinning in the stone circle. On arrival there I noticed two other people here set up with what looked like a tripod, camera and laptop. So I set up my tripod and camera on the hill about 50 yards away from them. After a few test shots I captured a faint glimpse of the Milky Way but the Moon was still up and blowing out my exposure, so after about 20 minutes, the two others started packing up and left. I though I’d move down into where they were set up, just out of the glare of the moon, and took this shot. The glow on the horizon is from the streetlights of Yeovil.

NASA image acquired February 14, 1990
On September 5, 1977, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket. Thirty-five years later, the planetary probe is now an interstellar traveler, having traveled farther from Earth than any manmade object in history. As of 21:00 Universal Time on September 4, 2012, Voyager 1 was 18.21 billion kilometers (11.31 billion miles) from home, or 121 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun. Light takes 33 hours and 44 minutes to travel the distance from the Sun to Voyager 1 and back.
This image is often referred to as “the Pale Blue Dot” image and was acquired on February 14, 1990, when the spacecraft was 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles) from Earth and 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane. Earth is a mere point of light, just 0.12 pixels (picture elements) in size when viewed from that distance. The fuzzy light in the images is scattered sunlight because Earth was very close to the Sun (from the perspective of Voyager). The image was part of a series of 60 images collected to make the first-ever mosaic portrait of our solar system.
Having long since passed its primary targets of Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1 has been cruising for decades toward the edge of the solar system. In fact, researchers have analyzed data from the probe’s particle detectors, cosmic ray detectors, and magnetometer and found evidence that they have passed the termination shock and into the heliosheath—the outer edge of influence for solar wind plasma and energy from our Sun. The probe is now in an area similar to the windless “doldrums” found in tropical seas on Earth. The solar wind has calmed, the magnetic field has piled up due to pressure from outside the solar system, and high-energy particles appear to be leaking out into interstellar space. The Voyager science team expects the spacecraft itself to pass out into that space sometime in the next year or so.
“Voyager tells us now that we're in a stagnation region in the outermost layer of the bubble around our solar system,” said Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist at the California Institute of Technology, at a December 2011 press conference. “Voyager is showing that what is outside is pushing back. We shouldn't have long to wait to find out what the space between stars is really like.”

This was from the Camelopardalids meteor shower towards the end of May 2014. I was pretty excited when I saw the image on the camera screen, until my girlfriend told me to look up...& there in the sky was what had made the streak on the photo - a plane. Oh well...maybe next time!

A shot I’ve wanted to do for a while. Car trails and the Milky Way. Shot 15th December 2017 from a bridge crossing the A50, Grove Way, Doveridge, Staffordshire facing a Westerly direction in 0 degree temperatures. A blend of two shots processed from RAW: The car trails - f/2.8 ISO 160 30 seconds. The Milky Way - f/2.8 ISO 1600 41 seconds. With lens correction.
