One of the beautiful things about the Wye Valley is that there are still places which are relatively (not entirely) free of light polution. From these places, beautiful night sky views can be enjoyed, including spectacular views of the Milky Way.

All of this short time-lapse film was shot in the Wye Valley between August 2009 and August 2010. It includes stars, meteors, the planet Jupiter, satellites and cloud. The film also includes a shot of a spectacular fireball meteor which I caught on camera from Brampton Abbots at 11.03pm on Tuesday 10th August 2010.

The film locations include, Arthur's Stone, King Arthur's Cave, Brampton Abbotts, Foy Bridge, Yat Rock - Symonds Yat and Wilton.

To see it at its best, this film is best watched full screen, with the screen shielded from sunlight. At 1080p, if your system can handle large video files. We hope you enjoy watching.

Note: I am aware that the word 'from' is spelled incorrectly in the end credits. I was going to correct this but people rated and commented on the film, on You Tube, immediately upon upload, and uploading the later corrected version would delete those ratings and comments.
