Hi All, I'm just back from a short break, and I feel I have to post this one. On Wednesday night, August 2nd, I took a trip out to my favourite beach spot in County Waterford, Ireland, and set up to take a few shots, we had the most transparent skies I have ever witnessed from a dark site during summertime in a long time, this is what the summer milkyway looked like over the Ocean as the red coloured first quarter moon set in the southwest shortly after this was taken. It was quite a sight!

Canon EF 18-55mm lens at 18mm, Canon 300D, 500 seconds exposure at F4, Apologies to you guys down south where of course this is the winter milkyway ! Enjoy,
Keith..
