Some quickies at 6am in the Fens

Jupiter in Leo, Cassiopea, and Ursa Major.....just as they came off the camera.

The Moon was causing a bloom on the Jupiter in Leo shot.

Living in the Fens (as I do as well), there are some really dark skies around.

Be interesting to see what your's are like when the moons gone.

You've got the purseus double cluster coming through in the middle one

Another interesting thing to do with wide field shots is to deliberately defocus slightly (slightly), and then take pictures as you have, the defocused stars really highlight the different star colours. Try it on Orion

Good start get that moon out of the way and it will help a lot!
