Wow that is breathtaking

Nice mate !!! Really nice

Good lord I last wrote here in 2012 a car is essential but to be honest if you can find an area with no street lights away from east London, Colchester and other town areas were the cameras don’t do tooooo bad. I’m in Ig10 area and I’ve gotten some good star trails and such from my garden. Margaret Roding as knobby said is next on my list (with knobby) all welcome

That’s if the skies ever clear !!!

Haha co-founder and noob

Happy 2019 knobby

Suppose we have to meet up now hey knobby !!! Fellow Essex cloud dodgers ..... sorry I’ve been awol but I’m back

shot in AV - F-stop was 2.8 - 21 second exposures @ 320 ISO

Canon 6d, 18-35 iii Lens my my first real crack at pics. I'm very happy

finally got round to a bit of post editing, i actually prefer the original but with this you can see the purples as well as the greens

just got home...... haven't touched any of these up at all..... just WOW !!!!!!!!!

Incidentally, I'm aware of certain under / over exposure elements across the board. I am still here so am unable to post process ........ I'm not even sure I want too. I'm still a beginner and I feel the images deserve to be left well alone ? Once I improve I can criticise myself from these

Hey all. Absolutely beautiful up here in ivalo (Finnish Lapland). I'm still here actually. Thanks for the comments. Literally my first proper Astro shots I'm pleased with. No lights since these sadly but lots of Star shots. I'll pop a couple up in a few mins. Mostly shot at f2.8 / 16mm ultra wide. ISO 320 (yes I know it's low but it works for me) 14-25 second shots.

I hope this is in the right section of the site, technically a very special event for me
