Got to make use of what you find, I often find a little light pollution can help with an astro shot if as in this case you have broken and patchy clouds as they catch the ambient light and help create some distance and depth to a 2d image. One day i'll go to somewhere like Tenerife or Madeira and capture the night sky above a sea of cloud.One would normally curse extraneous light at an astro shoot but you have bent this to your purpose beautifully.

Love this!!!
Geoff,
Do you use PhotoPills? Tis a great app for planning core shots. It uses Google maps then overlays a graphic that show you the direction, and when the core is most visible. It also tells you the best time to capture it....
Thank you Spad, yeah I use several, from Photophills to the The Photographer's Ephemeris to Stellarium to name a few when planning and understanding the position of the Milky Way in relation to my subject, even find google earth 3D can be useful to understand topography, allowing you to visualise the location without actually being on location fist.Love this!!!

The forecast was for clear skies and this provided an opportunity to photograph the Milky Way and stars over the lighthouse at Nash Point in Wales. When we arrived the the wind was howling and patchy clouds were racing overhead which were illuminated at each sweep of the light.
