Galloway Stars Scotland

Galloway Astronomy Centre Star Trails Scotland

A quick photo from the wonderful Galloway Astronomy Centre in south-west Scotland. You will notice the gaps in the star trails caused by some fast moving thick clouds. If you ever get the chance to go, do it. The amazing Mike and Helen as your hosts make the stay unforgettable. Their local knowledge and interests in history, archaeology and astronomy bring out the inquisitive nerd in anybody and make you extremely welcome. This photo sequence was cut short by a rain shower. The colour in the sky is remarkable due to the near full moon, leading up to Easter, and the rapid movement of the clouds in the stacking process.
