The Milky Way on a cloudy night over Dunkery Beacon in Exmoor National Park

            A nightscape shoot looking across the heather towards Dunkery Beacon. Saturn is visible shining to the left of the frame just above the horizon along with the double star Altair (in the upper part of the frame to the left of the milky way). This is a blended image combining a 3 minute tracked exposure for the sky with a 3 minute long exposure of the foreground with light painting to illuminate some of the bushes and nearby tree. Taken with an astro modified A7III and a Nisi natural night filter fitted to the lens.
