Description

I've only just got around to editing these next few photos due to the bad weather just putting me off, but I'm back into it now!

I stayed at a house in a dark sky area last year and the southern horizon is much clearer than at home, so although it never turns to true night time at this time of year, I can see and image a lot more than I usually can, and even with the clearer view there were still a few trees getting in the way; it would have been impossible from my garden or even nearby parks.

I really like the colours but I found the processing difficult, but I'm definitely looking foward to the next time I can image DSO's under true dark skies.
