Perseids & Milky Way Photos

Aug 13, 2013 | Blog

Three years to the day since I shot my Elegug Stacks Milky Way image that then went on to go crazy across the newspapers and media. So what better than a re-visit to the area and also try to get some Perseid & Milky Way photos! Forecast was cloudy, but around half 11 it was super clear. Grab the gear and headed down the coast, one good thing about August is access to the MOD range is open everyday so thankfully I could get to where I wanted to be. I love it here for night sky shots, especially the Milky Way. Only light pollution looking south is that of the north Cornwall/Dorset coast and low terrain cover means big skies. Superb. Was here til about half 1am, and must of counted at least 70 meteors, best one in a long time I can remember and for once it was clear with no moon (best conditions!) Anyways, enough waffle on with the photos.
