  1. @carastro Have been several times for astro, though not as a group. New moon in May is good for early morning Milky Way. Note the east/north east/north of the isalnd is is cloudy and wet owing to the Trade Winds. You usually need to get above the inversion layer for observing. THIS!!! There are some commercial astro tour organisations on the island that maybe worth looking up. Hope it works out for you. I love the island. Cheers, Paul.
  2. Early season faint and wispy noctilucent clouds over a derelict Greets Shooting House high on the moor between Swaledale and Wensleydale, N. Yorkshire. Just before midnight June 1st. Sky - 3.2s, f3.5, iso800, light painted foreground 3 x f6.3, 3.2s, iso400. Canon 6D MkII, Sigma 105mm. Processed in LR and PS. Better when clicked. Cheers, Paul.
  3. Thank you for noticing! I aimed to get a good balance and not overdo the foreground... ..having some restful nights under normal cloud.
  4. ...over a derelict shooting house above Swaledale, N. Yorkshire. The faint white wispy stuff... ...sort of heads up for the ongoing competition - SGL 2022 Challenge 5 - Noctilucent Clouds. Just before midnight June 1st. Sky - 3.2s, f3.5, iso800, light painted foreground 3 x f6.3, 3.2s, iso400. Canon 6D MkII, Sigma 105mm. Looking forward to bigger and brighter displays!! Paul.
  5. Very novel! I would go with your explanation above. Any con/divergance in the trains due to the elapsed time? It'll be Musk, grrrrrr. Cheers, Paul.
  6. Trying out a new (to me) technique to control distortion in wide stitched panoramas. Also a few other processing tweeks. 2 x 5 panes at f1.4, 8s, iso 3200 each a single exposure! Sigma 24mm, Canon 6D MkII, Nodal Ninja. Sometime spring 2021... ...cheers, Paul.
  7. Hi Dave, yes, they are a bit in your face. Goes down well with the wider public. Personal preference would be more restrained. (Original image updated with quieter version...) I find ambient foregrounds can be very flat. Using the lighting is great to give depth and also a sense of location. A second image from the session at 50mm, 16 x 5s for sky. Composition doesn't excite. Thank you! Noctilucent Cloud season in 6 weeks... ...cheers, Paul.
  8. ...two nights ago. A Swaledale scene. Canon 6D MkII, Sigma 24mm. LR preprocess. Sky 10 x 10s, iso3200, f2.5. Sequator to stack and freeze foreground. Barn ~10 x 5s, iso800, f5. PS to combine image stack and lit foreground images. Paul
  9. Gorgeous and fascinating! I've noted the area for my recently acquired Sigma 105 f1.4 lens. Thank you Goran. Paul
  10. Revisited one of my first light painted subjects last night. A lead mining relic on a heap of sterile spoil. Sky 16 x 5s, f2, iso3200. Foreground ~8, 5s, f5, iso800. 50mm Sigma lens on Canon 6D MkII. Attemping to get a larger asterism presence in the image, thin cloud bloating the stars. Social media render... ...cheers, Paul.
  11. To get this image numerous variables needed to align... ...these stars in this small gap to the NNW, no leaves on the trees, enough water and not too much to prevent access, the weather and the moon. Unfortunately the moon was too bright. Foreground 2 cross lit images, composite sky ~12 stacked 8s, f2.2, iso2500 taken from my home 2km away. LR, Sequator and PS. Canon 6D MkII and Sigma 24mm. My son has noted that there isn't much 'astro' in the image 😀 Paul
  12. @Zummerzet_Leveller really like the feel of this. The lighting on the tree also gives it a bit of depth. Loverly.
  13. Definitely as 'less is more' consumer here. I'll not be going down the vlog route!! Cheers, Paul.
  14. ...over the River Swale. This footbridge is on a well known walk between Muker and Keld. The clouds barely cleared before dawn last Friday. 8 stacked for sky and numerous lit foreground images. Decided to put myself in the frame as an afterthought. Cheers, Paul.
  15. Definitely one to click on and zoom in!! Very well put together Plenty of Integrated Flux Nebula to see. Paul
  16. Love the deft touch on the processing! Paul
  17. @Rustang very true!! I use lens profile correction in Lightroom nowadays. Though tweaked manually as 100% correction setting is too much. Also tried GradientXterminator in Photoshop... Well worth your trip out!
