The start of a very long and bone-chilling evening. As dusk settles you know it’s going to be a great night for shooting the night sky, your tools ready, a clear sky, some really interesting things were about to happen in the atmosphere on this night.

I shot the village at blue hour after the sun had set, as a panorama, then as it got darker I imaged the Milky Way rising using an equatorial tracking mount, I was delighted to see streaks of red on the back of the camera, streaks of atmospheric airglow!
