normally 1h20 before sunrise, 30mins before blue hour in this case, is early enough to see the last stars well, but it's so bright with snow and a clear horizon, it would have been interesting to try even earlier.

Mamores, Grey Corries, the two very prominent Munros west of Loch Trieg (Easain and Stob a'Choire Mheadhoin) the very flat Meagaidh massif at the back, then quite prominent east of Loch Trieg, Chno Dearg (Stob Coire Sgriodain is barely visible)
Is barely visible)

What beautiful colours Mark - a great time to be up high

What an improvement over the muddy brown shooting estate summer colours

Indeed. The more I look at this, the more I appreciate it. It's a great picture!!!

Thanks Jamie 😃 the light gorgeous thanks to wonders of snow. It was supposed to have obvious stars though!
