Working from home today so a welcome lie-in and a lucky break in the cloudiness to start the day .... 

Seeing pretty rough but I'm not complaining , shot 75 and let Reg do the selection as they were all rather ropey , and had a very nice surprise with the TestShot I took to check exposure , took a while to figure out how to save it but glad I worked it out .... 

Lucky Test Shot.

1000D + ED80Pro + ND3.8 + 1.8 x Barlow + OIII.

1/200s @ ISO 200 , 20/75 , Reg 5.1 , Gimp 2.8.

Some nice looking AR's coming into view there. Forecast for the weekend looks a bit more promising so I may just get a look in. Well done getting this today, was quite misty / foggy when I left home this morning.

The aeroplane passing in front of the sun is just stunning 

How on earth you managed to capture that glad you did thanks for posting

Good effort under the conditions, and always nice to catch an aeroplane

Yet another cloud-bound day here today.  And it is absolutely belting down, to the point where the gutters have given up coping.  I hate going up three storeys on a ladder to check they're clean, too

Nice ones. Like the aeroplane too

Absolutely fantastic! a plane crossing your path is so lucky, just like a black cat, you better do the lottery

lucky day.

Didn't do the Lottery before , sure ain't gonna start wasting £2.00 a go ..... 

Very nearly caught an Osprey crossing the disc half way through the shoot too , flew under the disc about 1/4 degree below ....  ... I see them nearly every day here so it's just a matter of time .....

Nice lot of activity and a couple of big spots coming round.  At that angle the plane looks like it is going in to orbit?

Just cloud and rain up here.
