Few more opportunities the mother nature gave me during the last two months of the year to see through the window of the universe…

Poole Harbour Starry Nights
Poole Harbour Milky Way Dorset
The largest natural harbour in the United Kingdom. It is the estuary of 4 rivers, the largest being the Frome. It has an approximate area of 36km2 (14 sq mi) and it is very shallow (average depth is 48cm) . The area has a long history of human settlement pre-Roman times. The harbour was used by the Romans as an invasion port.
Poole is the main town. It became a wealthy city in the 17th century as it was a trading hub, and by the 18th century it was the main British port trading with North America.
The harbour is an area of international importance for wildlife conservation, and borders three natural reserves.
Poole Harbour has a special charm, and is well known for the most beautiful sunsets in Dorset. This post is about a face little known, Poole Harbour under the starry nights
Branksome Beach Love
Astrophotography in Poole, Bournemouth, Dorset, England. Canon 6D. Love inspiration. Milky Way
Branksome beach in Poole, Dorset-UK, is not a place where you would think to photograph the night sky…surrounded by light pollution from Bournemouth and Poole, using the right exposure the Milky Way can be captured. This time I did it with the help of two couples and showed them the beauty of the night sky…
I was lucky to have a clear sky with a low tide at the same time…it was also a good opportunity to experiment some techniques using a flash and snoot to lighten up the subjects…
And also to combine some techniques derived from the photography of deep sky objects (like galaxies, nebulas, etc)…For the image below, I have taken one photo with the couple and then 24 more without moving the camera or changing the settings….It was about 6 minutes of info in total…Using Deep Sky Stacker (DSS) I have stacked the 24 images and then combined in photoshop with the very first image of the couple…the result is a detailed view of the galactic centre…
