A photographer has taken a stunning picture of the Milky Way off British coast – that he waited a year to capture.

Talented Rob Stillwell, 36, said he had to wait until the conditions were perfect to capture the out-of-this-world image.

He took advantage of a small window of opportunity when there was a new moon, the right weather conditions and lack of light pollution.

In his starry image taken behind Great Mewston, Wembury, Devon. he also captured the reflection of the planet Jupiter

Rob, of Plymouth, Devon, said: “Every year I try and capture a new place with the summer sky and the Milky Way.

“There is only a small window when everything it lined up perfectly. I like to pick iconic places that people have an association with.

“I waited for the right night to get the photos and this was taken between midnight to 1am.

“I am really pleased with how it has turned out.”
