The Summer Triangle

Here's the famous 'Summer Triangle' which consists of Deneb, the brightest star in Cygnus on the left, Vega, the brightest in Lyra at top, and Altair, a beautiful diamond in Aquila. I got this as it was rising over the cliffs out by the sea at home. You can easily see the dark dust lanes and star clusters.

Again, this is just as I saw it with my own eyes :shock: what a sight ! No fancy processing - just plain and simple, I'm just trying to show it as I remember it. A single 5minute exposure, 18mm, ISO 800.
Keith..

Beautiful!!

Just one question though...your images appear a little blue? Any idea why this would be?

Hi Michael, Just good ol' dark skies and the subtle blue natural glow of the milkyway

You can see the glow from some light pollution at the bottom, but it ain't too bad.

Keith that is simply breathtaking, i just love all your images and these wide milkyway fields even more so. Could fragment C be in that image at the very top?

If this is how you see it you must have a verry good observation site

Verry nice image

Yet again absolutely stunning - I've never seen that many stars in the sky at once. (At least not since I was a kid living in Wexford, I remember gazing at meteor showers on a beach in St. Helen's with the whole milky way lighting up the sky - your shot brings back memories - thanks).

That does it I'm moving to Waterford/Cavan or anywhere dark.
