I saw this in the challenge section but can't comment there of course. I like this version very much as the other ones taken during full darkness don't do you justice. It's a shame the dark sky park doesn't reach as far as the coast ! The star spikes look good and well controlled. The fact you've got nice reflections also draws me in Dave.

Loved the timelapse Lee. Nice twinkly stars and good exposure timing. Just the right speed for those clouds, Dave.

Hi Pierre, Have you tried this link ? - https://capecodastronomy.org/ They may be able to help and it's almost certain that an astro society will have a few landscape photographers around. Dave.

You've coped with adversity well I see. Another nice barn. Good to see you're still driving the quality forwards and your light painting is getting even smoother, Dave.

Wonderful once again Paul. Those shots bring back nice memories of North Norfolk during the Kelling weeks. Thanks, Dave.

Thanks for the positive words :) Hmm. Unfortunately I have a friend who can sense Chocolate biscuits from around half a mile ! I forgot to mention you him 🤭 Cheers, Dave.

On some of my shots the starts looked like mini comets ! Byland is good isn't it ? I'll try and get back there one day and do some light painting as I think the place is crying out for it. It was nice to get out except for all the dust and cobwebs on the Nikon Dave.

You were out too ? Yes, between the clouds and the wind it was a bit of a trial. Good luck to you and I hope to see some more from you soon, Dave.

Thanks Paul, Plain = dark. Dark = stealth. Stealth = no one else can see them so they're all mine Easy when you know how 👍 Dave

Cheers Gus, A timelapse was out of the question Dave.

I was at Sutton Bank North Yorkshire National Park Centre on Saturday night helping a friend out with a public Astronomy outreach. Due to the fact it rained most of the time I didn't have a lot to do ! Now then, Byland Abbey is very close by so after midnight when everyone had gone home and the sky cleared out a bit ( As it would eh ? ) I decided to pay the Abbey a visit. Unfortunately Storm Kathleen joined me and no matter how much I struggled, she managed to ruined almost every shot. I'll post one of the least damaged but the stars are awful and the details blurred. Don't zoom in for best views as I've compressed the image quite a bit to hide it 😇 Not long after I took this shot I finally lost all hope and drove home. Nikon Z6ii, 20 mm lens, ISO 3200, F1.8, and 10 seconds single exposure. Chicken sandwich and plain chocolate hobnobs. If anyone finds themselves in the area, it's a nice quiet and fairly dark spot other than the light on the side of the pub opposite ! Dave.

Wow. One of your best foregrounds so far ! A lovely valley floor and the lights work quite well. I won't be too far from you next weekend as I'll be attempting Byland Abbey. I doubt my walls will look as good as yours. Dave.

I started around 1999 and very slowly got into astrophotography. It's quite nostalgic as your images remind me of mine. Cheers, Dave.

Yeah, very cool. I'm not in the least bit envious Dave

Hi Paul, Between you and the Moon that's a great foreground. Very crisp and detailed, in fact so much so that I can see an old dairy tucked in I'm sure I can see a slight tail on the comet when zoomed in too. Lovely shot again, Dave.
