Church Bay’s Cosmic Cathedral
The Milky Way as seen from just above Church Bay, at Weaver Point, in Co. Cork. This was last night, a few minutes after the moon had set. Unfortunately, the centre of the galaxy was hidden behind a bank of clouds at the horizon. The forecast said there would be about 30% cloud, but thankfully it mostly didn’t cover most of the galaxy.
The best time to see the centre of the Milky Way again from Ireland will be in March 2026. However, you’ll still be able to shoot the less bright celestial arms once the moon has set for a good few weeks, probably.
I recommend using Sun Surveyor to plan a Milky Way shot. Photopills is good too, but the street view integration in Sun Surveyor is difficult to beat.

Making the most of the new moon, and an unexpectedly clear sky (we had been expecting 30-50 percent cloud), I experimented with using the wide-angle lens of the #Dwarf3. This links to a lower resolution sensor, but the results of a 1 hour exposure were very pleasing.
This is part of the #MilkyWay - around #Saggitarius , and looked at the #GalacticCore . Sadly the massive dust clouds prevent us from seeing the core itself. Or at least in visible light. The #GLEAMsurvey created a stunning multiband view of the core in the radio spectrum, and that is quite something.

Super excited to be heading back to that little stargazing farm where it all started. Here are a couple shots I took on my phone back in 2022 before I got a real camera. Hope the weather cooperates! #stargazing #cherrysprings #milkyway #galacticcore #photography #astrophotography #shotoniphone #soi
