Clear Scillonian Skys

The last couple of nights, after the moon has set, we have had the most fantastically clear skys. I have been out with the camera to try and capture views of the island at night. I thought you might like to see a view from Peninnis that was taken on Wednesday evening (11/01/2012). It required a 30 second exposure and a quick flash of the car lights to illuminate the grazing cattle, the light pollution at the bottom left of the picture actually comes from Sennen on the mainland. It just goes to show how clear the air is at the moment.  tg
