It cleared up a bit out of nowhere at Kielder #Starcamp last night. We all went running out to set up telescopes that were covered up because the previous forecast was rubbish 😂

I rested my iPhone on the bridge, took a quick 10-second exposure of the #MilkyWay - look at how many stars!! And this is on a mobile phone. Amazing. Hoping we get a chance to properly fire up the telescope tonight, and fingers crossed for the rest of the week. #astro #stargazing #DarkSkyPark #LightPollutionSucks

The sky over the #Lauwersmeer National Park (https://www.np-lauwersmeer.nl/english-information/) in the Netherlands tonight which is also an International #DarkSkyPark: https://darksky.org/places/lauwersmeer-national-park-dark-sky-park/ - 60 seconds with ISO 1600 at f/2.8 straight up with Cassiopeia accidentally centered and the #AndromedaGalaxy in the field. See https://x.com/cosmos4u/status/1844882144587399510 and https://x.com/cosmos4u/status/1844883341918568833 and https://x.com/cosmos4u/status/1844883857310351488 for more - the SQM reading was 20.9 to 21.0, not as good as it can get, perhaps because of lots of humidity in the air.
