We have some amazing dark skies here and tonight’s clear frosty night means the Milky Way is visible. @kithaigh has been trying out some of his new astrophotography skills. Here is the Milky Way over our barn. This could be something we could offer. #astrophotography #starrynightsky #milkyway #greencroftonthewall #darkskies #darkskiesofnorthumberland #northumberlandnationalpark
