Winter Night Sky
Mars and Jupiter meet Orion and the winter circle. Taken at Mitchell's Fold with Corndon Hill making the perfect foreground. A freezing cold night plagued with periodic clouds, but so happy to grab a image of the winter night sky for the year 2025. ✨️✨️

Mars and Jupiter Conjunction
Mars and Jupiter conjunction over the largest standing stone at Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle. ✨✨ I had trouble imaging the foreground with the 50mm lens so ended up having to composite my 50mm tracked sky with the 16mm foreground. I still think the image worked out in the end.

Mitchell's Fold Aurora
A absolute magical night, meteor watching and then the Aurora putting on a nice show. I headed to Mitchell's fold stone circle as 360° views of the night sky are perfect at this location.

Mitchell's Fold Star Trail
The first clear night for what seems an age. The night started with me trying to image Comet 12P / Pons - Brooks however, at the time it was incredibly windy, so was unable to track, but at least I got to see it with binoculars. The rest of the night was used to make a star trail with one of the ancient stones as a foreground interest. Clouds rolled in before the milky way core rose, so I packed up and headed off home with just the one image.
