Summertime over the Copper Coast

Hi all, with the great weather we are having at the moment, I managed to get a couple of shots over the weekend under great skies down south looking out over the Milkyway in the early hours before sunrise. To get a feel for the view I have as always tried to keep the shot as natural looking as possible:

I love this time of year

Superb photos Keith ... very nice compositions.

Lots of M-objects and dark nebulae visible. I must try get to the south coast some time over the summer to really catch M6 and M7.

best,

Yes John, I actually saw them both through my 15x70mm Binos in good clear skies, kinda reminded me of looking at them in the canaries

They are hard to see from here

Wow Keith,

What class images I would love to have some dark skies like that. Can I move my dome and gear up to your back garden :>))

You can of course Carl ! If it would fit

Keith.
