Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks
clarkpm4242 replied to andrew63's topic in Observing - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Good view last night about 21.00. From core area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park International Dark Sky Reserve. Canon 15 x 50 IS binoculars. Tail about 2 degrees, maybe greenish tinge to coma. Rain washed and moonless sky Paul -
Bit of a mixed result. About 21.00, March 27th, last night. No moon, tail about 2 degrees in 15 x 50s, maybe greenish coma. Sky 8 x 2s, f2, iso3200. Foreground 2 x 30s, f2.5, iso3200. Illuminated by nearby holiday let. LRC, Sequator and PS. Canon R8, Sigma 50mm. Cheers Paul. P.S. M33 quite obvious.

Comet 12/P in context...
clarkpm4242 replied to clarkpm4242's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Thank you @davew . Yep, there is a tail. As you realised, I was deliberately squeezing the comet and our house into the single image...pretty cool -
...visible in 15 x 50s. Single image 3s, iso1600, f3.5 Canon R8, Sigma 50mm. PS, no crop. About 20.45, Friday 22nd March. Moonlit above Low Row in Swaledale. Marked up on 2nd image. Hoping for better next week, weather permitting

Kisdon and barn...
clarkpm4242 replied to clarkpm4242's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Interesting...way more signal to use, though trickier to process! Reach the light pollution 'limit' more easily. Certainly a bit more learning to do. A different style with this one, trying to show off the foreground without any lighting. Think that using the same sensor for foreground and sky makes the feel more consistent. I (we) need more opportunities!!!! Paul P.S. have updated the image -
...interested to see how this renders. First go with astro modified Canon 6D MkII. Sigma 24mm. Sky, four vertical panes each 4 x 10s, f2.2, iso3200. Ground, four vertical panes each 2 x 120s, f2.8, iso3200. LR, Sequator, MSICE and PS. Interesting colours to manage. Clouds were a bit of a complication! Upper Swaledale about 04.00. Paul

Pub night!

Another aurora image from last night 3rd March about 20.30. I have a 'commission' with the owner of The Tan Hill Inn (Britain's highest public house) to take nightscape images featuring the pub 😀! A long term project owing to the exposed location and our weather. This was the first session, no wind and frozen snow patches. I get to turn out external lighting as necessary. This is the best composition featuring the aurora, pub and inevitable clouds. Cheers, Paul.

Going ambient...
clarkpm4242 replied to clarkpm4242's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Thank you @FenlandPaul I do like how this has turned out! A fair bit of LR to get some depth into the foreground. That is the 'natural' light pollution profile... ...cheers, Paul. -
...foreground. 4 x 60s, f2.8, iso3200. Sky 9 x 60s, f3.5, iso1600. Landscape orientation. Canon R8, Sigma 24mm, MSM tracker. LR, Sequator and PS. Birkdale. Cheers, Paul.

Brief respite last night...
clarkpm4242 replied to clarkpm4242's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Added a more mellow colour rendition! Take your pick? Cheers, Paul. -
...a quiet, calm and clear interlude before moonrise. It was lovely to be alone in the dark countryside under the stars. Birkdale. Sky 8 x 60s, f3.5, iso 1600 on MSM tracker. ~6 light painted foreground images. A bit tricky in the riverbed. Canon R8, Sigma 24mm. LR, Sequator and PS. Click for detail. Cheers, Paul.

Local Orion
clarkpm4242 replied to Daniel-K's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
I do like the first image. The clouds definitely add to the composition. Not sure I fancy waders though!! Cheers, Paul. -
Barns, barns...updated

No lakes or seaside! -
Barns, barns...updated
clarkpm4242 replied to clarkpm4242's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Thank you @davew the light from the farm was a tad bright. The main problem was the direction, it flattened the barn shape. Just enough variation to enhance the angles and give the building some form. Colour version attached. Cheers, Paul. -
...under Orion near Thwaite in Swaledale. In the 'suckers gap' of a clear hour after a cold front passed through. Windy as... Colour images are an 8s single frame. Illumination from nearby farmyard. PS. Which do you prefer? Mono is several sky and light painted foregrounds. LR, Sequator and PS. Canon R8 and Sigma 24mm. Cheers, Paul.

Thank you @davew yes, a small element in the image, but quite a feature. Cheers.
