February Astrophotography 2021

Astrophotography through February was again still a bit sparse for me. I embarked on four trips. The first being Rame Head featuring the winter sky. Been here many times and also enjoy visiting.

A few days later, I journeyed to the coast by Downderry to rock stack which again looked fantastic with the swirling swell and hint of air glow.

The following day I journeyed to the small harbour of Portwrinkle. Only being a 20 minute drive, this was an ideal place to visit while feeling astro hungover from the previous night. I searched around the harbour for a focal point and came across this interesting foreground rock with a few lines of quartz cutting through. The winter sky as a backdrop really added to the scene too.

One of my favourite shoots of February, and possibility of the year thus far, was a full moon lit hike to Rocky Valley by Bossiney. It’s tragic to say that I have never hiked the coast under a full moon before and it was a spectacular experience. The atmosphere and mood of the landscape under the light of the moon was magical and complimented this cascading waterfall deep within the valley.
