Description

The image was taken in a single night out to Dungeness beach, south England. The place was chosen because relatively close to London and with a wide horizon. It was my first time in this location and I went there with a very portable setup, my unmodified Canon 6D, Samyang 135 and Star Adventurer. The place was very nice also during the day. In the night the zenith was dark as well as the east. Few lights from France coastline towards the south but a lot of local light pollution on the west because of a local nuclear power plant. The Samyang was used fully open and despite the low integration time and unmodified camera the amount of red signal looks very good. Overall, I am pleased with this image.
