About this image

Spending a few days in the Yorkshire Dales under SQM 21.7 / Bortle 3 skies was a most welcome break from my light-polluted SQM 18.8 / Bortle 7 back garden. It was chilly in the strong wind which thankfully calmed down a little after sunset. I took a number of wide-angle constellation images - to be stacked and processed.
