Like the Venus one. That's the Plieades hiding down next to the chimney, isn't it?

Thanks for that James I will add the Plieades to my List then. Still finding my way round.

Really nice Venus shot. Yes that is the Seven Sisters hiding down by the chimney.

I've given up trying to remember the correct spelling.

Thanks for the comments guys, could you explain why the other image I put up the same night is blue ?

[JamesF]

Could be an auto white balance thing if you have that set? Could just be that the sky was more blue in that area. I'm guessing, to be honest.
