LOCKDOWN! And an increase in local night photography

Since early March 2020, we've been locked down in the UK, unable travel unless absolutely necessary. That's meant it's been impossible to escape the light polluted skies of Surrey.
And, as Sod's Law dictates, there has been night after night of clear skies through March and April.
I tried to capture the Milky Way over Surrey, but the light pollution is a killer.
Got a nice ISS shot, with it slicing past Venus and the Moon.
Also got a nice shot of the Pink Supermoon rising over Woking.
Opportunities are few and far between, but it's nice to be out on a warm(ish) clear night.
