**TES Photographer of the Week** This week’s photographer is Michael Prior who resides in Cork, Ireland. Mike sent us in this amazing image of the Milky Way over Carauntoohil in county Kerry. Carauntoohil, is the highest peak in Ireland at 1038 metres and is the central peak of the Macgillycuddy Reeks mountain range. The peak of Carrauntoohil is topped by a large metal cross, which is 5 metres tall and features in this image. In this area of County Kerry, the night skies are perfect for astrophotography. The skies are some of the darkest in the world with Sky Quality Meter readings of over 21 in the core area. Consequently, Kerry Dark Sky Reserve received the official Gold Standard Status from the International Dark Sky Association in January 2014; the first Gold Tier reserve in the Northern Hemisphere.
