Looking North from Hartshead Pike

Looking North from Hartshead Pike
A rare clear night beckons me out to my nearest high point only a fifteen minute drive from my home at around 23:00. Even so, in these days of semi-lockdown, there are other people still up here enjoying the views in the unusual warmth. This is almost a view towards the highlights of Oldham to the NW, Notice the still blue after-glow of daylight where the sun had dipped hours before, a result of our relative high latitude.

The results of 12 portrait shots in a double vertical row with my Tokina 11mm taken at F5.6 for 10 secs using a clear-night filter to help take away the light pollution.

Enjoy full screen.

My thanks again to Steve Paxton for his invaluable help in producing these.

Thanks Keith. Yes the night sky looked particularly attractive on this night. It was still too light to see the Milky Way but I was happy with these. The city lights, as you say look quite exciting from here but they contribute to the lack of stars too.

Keep safe. Herb

Thanks David. My friend Steve P, had seen an article about these anti-light pollution filters and related it to me. The rest is history. In practice they filter the pink lights of city lights out from the sky well above. Good that you liked them.

Keep good. Herb

A lot of work and effort but the results are generally worth it as you prove my friend.

Keep safe. Herb

Two marvellous night images, Herb. The work in taking and stitching all the base images has been well justified by the result.
