I've just published a brand new set of four postcards featuring reproductions from late-Victorian lantern slides showing some of the prehistoric monuments of Penwith in Cornwall. If they sell alright then I'll consider doing a few other sets too.

It is a great spot @JaneAgain. Part of the coastal moors that run along the North of #Penwith.
This is the view north, back to the road and the sea.
The three objects in a line along the top are from the left: Alnath, Mars, and Aldebaran. Just right and up from Aldebaran is the Pleiades cluster.
The reddish star up and right of top of utility pole is Betelgeuse.
2030z looking east from #Pendeen. 1s exposure.
