The Milky Way

The Yorkshire sky had a much better southern horizon than I get at home so one of the things I wanted to image was the Milky Way. Unfortunately, I was plagued with cloud in this direction so all I managed was 2 3 minute exposures at ISO 800 with the 18-55 Canon lens. Even these frames had some cloud reflecting the sodium lighting of the towns to the south but the results show promise with a dark sky down to the horizon.

Notice that the Coathanger stands out well in this picture, almost dead centre.
