    Nice night until the fog rolled up. Mars below the Pleiades very photogenic, so took a few snaps with a tripod mounted DSLR. 1sec exposures at ISO6400 and f=55mm. Lovely full Moon over my hedge.The night sky from a semi rural location is a very beautiful thing!

    Night night Stargazers.

      Hi Reggie

      Nice to hear from you. I haven't posted an image of the meeting of Mars and the Seven Sisters yet as have been a bit busy with non astro related stuff. Hopefully I will manage to process something soon from the data I captured . The moonlight unfortunately washed out a lot of detail. Visually it was a beautiful thing but I suspect my photo will not have captured the crispness and sparkle of the 'eyeball'event. I believe I often over process insufficient amounts of widefield data and consequently end up with rather flat dull images. Anyway I will give it a go and post the result. All the best, hope you are keeping well and benefiting from clear skies.

      George
