Spectacular star views may be difficult to find in some parts of the country but one photographer managed to catch the perfect shot of first light on the Isle of Wight.

Chad Powell, a 24-year-old snapper and graphic designer, has a passion for photographing the night sky off the coast of Hampshire.

Take a closer look at the photo and you’ll be able to see Saturn and Mars, while the fainter point of light under them is Antares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius.

Mr Powell captured the amazing solar system scenery during the dawn at Castle Cove on May 5.

The graduate said he fell in love with photography while studying graphic design at university when he bought his first DSLR camera and began taking pictures of “anything and everything”.
