cheers Chris, yeah its pretty strange i have a feeling its a bit of sag on the bayonet of the sony. It's a problem thats been there from the start. you can however buy a cnc machined new one for about twenty bucks. its now on order so time will tell if its that.

a little bit frustrating given how nice it was yesterday, i managed to get a time lapse at Alwen dam last night. Nice report though and hopefully a few more hours of clear sky of the weekend

Im back to having a tracker for the coming season and managed a night out last night to test the gear. The plan is for this to accompany me on some trips to dark skys and do some wide field mosaic images of nebula regions. im using a Sonya7rii and a sony 70-200mm F4 OSS G image details : 70MM ISO 1000 F4.5 x121 seconds im actually quite surprised at how sharp this lens is, apart from the top left which is very soft every other corner is very good. hopefully over the next few nights i can get my mosaic done of this area around Deneb & Sadr. image sequence as follows :: bottom left bottom right middle top left top right Cheers Danny

i agree with Alan, orientation does'nt matter as long as it's framed nicely and which you have done. a fine WF image

Awesome Andy please do come and introduce yourself, so far the forecast is looking good. There is a hands on practical advice afterwards so please do bring any equipment you need. I will have a few pieces of equipment that will be used for public use. Also Celestron I believe are attending.

Hi every one my self and Vanguard will be giving a talk along side the Cambrian photography event at Lly Brenig this coming Saturday. I will be talking about how i take my landscape astro images. If you fancy listening to me waffle on then you can book here. During the day there are stalls for camera & lenses to see so please do pop by and say hello.

i like the 2nd but loose the added diffraction spike IMHO

That is lovely!! you could always clone out the halo's shouldn't be too difficult.

It's an illusion for sure. It had me going mad in PS.

Thanks dude.

Thanks Scoot

Yes it is Andy

Thank you, you are correct.

Keep a look out in August's sky@night mag 😀

NLC reflection made a lovely natural frame from the display on 21/6/19 Sony A7RII single frame

I got a heads up just before i finished work and didn't really want to head out until i saw some image's coming in from Berlin just before 22:30. I decided to go and try and capture a shot ive had planned for a while but due east there was some murky cloud shrouding some of the display so i headed to a place i know well.

Wasn't he in Vikings??

i cant take all the credit for this spot, a good friend of mine who's local pointed me to it. theres a few spots around the lake for some other things i want to try later in the year.

Thanks mate, learnt from the best

By the time August comes around it's too high and making a panoramic image of it is a real pita. This image was about 15 images. The last time I tried in August it took 51 images to fit.

Thanks dude, found my astro mojo again
