Siamese Twins, a Whale and a Burglar

[Stub Mandrel]

I didn't do too badly last night, I kept my subs to 60 seconds and was rewarded by tighter stars.

First M60, M59, and lots of galaxies including the 'Siamese Twins' - this area isn't as popular as Markarian's Chain which is slightly to the west. 101 subs:

And 64 subs of the Whale Galaxy:

I think teh whale has come out much better despite being fewer subs)

I decided to call a halt to the whale and go for a Comet, but while i was swapping over two things happened - cloud rolled in but more dramatically I heard a woman shouting 'get down on the ground' etc., then lost of torches, noise and dogs as the police arrested a burglar some 100 yards away out of sight in the dark woods and went hunting for his accomplice. I don't think they noticed me, I was only some thirty feet away at one point and not hiding, but I was behind a garden fence!

Quite a catch. Both for you and the police.

That must have made you jump out of your skin!

Nice images too.

You got the hockey stick there as well...

Did the police persons have red filters on their torches?

Exciting!

I wondered what that was called!

Well sounds like a good night all round, nice images and a bit of local drama.  What more can you ask for
