The Milky Way

PETE COLLINS, CHATEAU DE ST GERMAIN DE CONFOLENS, FRANCE, 17 SEPTEMBER 2017

Pete says: “I shot this image of the Milky Way over the ruins of a 12th-century castle during a visit to Astrofarm in darkest rural France. Andrew Davies of Astrofarm told me the floodlights were turned off every night at 11.30pm, so I arrived at 11 to position the Milky Way where I wanted it, then waited for the lights to go out.”

Equipment: Canon EOS 6D DSLR camera, Samyang 14mm lens.
