BRADLEY 1953

What a really lovely image.

wonderful images Neil. Details on Ganymede an added bonus.

A  lovely set of images Paul.  Weather conditions favourable for  a change.

Lovely white light full disc image Paul.    Cheers  Chris.

Yes,  I  agree,  lovely natural colours.

Great animation. Reminds me of a recent view I had through my 155mm Apo in good seeing at 174x. Well done indeed.

Lovely image Neil. I was observing visually at much the same time with my 155mm APO,  but still no match for your excellent pics.

A  really lovely sketch, you can clearly see the resemblance to a whale, well done.     

Great images Neil,  who needs James Webb!

Hi  cat lovers, I am reminded of an incident which occurred many years ago when Paul and myself were doing a Perseid meteor watch one night on Clee Hill, not far from Ludlow. We were surrounded by heather moor and intermittent gorse thickets, which proved useful as a windbreak. Then well into the watch we heard the sound of heavy breathing in conjunction with a continuous rasping like noise from the bushes nearby. Paul was convinced it was nothing more than a sheep with asthma, there are plenty grazing on the hills round about, but I was not so sure. In the winter months that followed I received two seperate reports from friends, of strange happenings in close proximity to this spot.  The first was when a close friend, in company with his wife, were walking near the summit of Titterstone Clee, when they came upon the tracks of a large feline in the freshly fallen snow which then carpeted the hill, apparently they soon made their way back to the car, quite unsettled by the event I would imagine. The second incident involved a friend of my fathers,  who sadly as since passed away. He describes an encounter he witnessed from the comfort of his car, once again it was on a snowy afternoon, when a large cat, he thought it might have been a Lnyx !  was seen pursuing a brown hare on the heather clad moorland just above the main road. Coincidence or what? I will leave this to members of the Astro Lounge to decide.    Keep your eyes peeled,    Chris .  

Hi  Paul,  yet another big AR and a nice image. Plenty of sun here today.   Cheers Chris.

Wow indeed! that is one massive AR, keep them coming.

Lovely crisp images Roy, you must be pleased with first light performance.

Nice one Paul. Good to see AR spread across both sides of disc.  Cheers  Chris.

I have only just found these sketches.  Simply beautiful renditions.   

Great shot, reminds me of the view from Apollo  11 command module.  

Another good image Paul. I found that the seeing was better before 10pm.  Cheers.

Very nice image. I was out at the same time with my 130mm APO.  Yes, the moon was getting lower by then and seeing also not as good as earlier.

Lovely rendition of iconic  DSO.   

Another lovely full disc image of AR.  Cheers Chris

Another good set of images Paul, well done.

Hi  Paul,  yes great images, unfortunately I missed this event.  Cheers Chris.

A lovely full disc image Paul.

Still lovely images Neil.

A fantastic image, thanks for posting.
