Kielder Star Camp

[James]

We had a clear night at Kielder Star Camp on Thursday so I was able to get the camera out for some pics - I was a bit torn between regretting not having the full imaging setup and being relieved that I wasn't having to work through the Kielder gremlins that attack everyones guiding... and having just driven up from Exeter I'm not sure I could have faced rushing to set everything up. So...

I met up with @davew and Nick and we went to a nearby disused railway viaduct for Dave to chase some Orion reflections in the reservoir  

The white dot on the left just above the puddle is Dave, the red one me

Nick photographing Orion

... and some obligatory Milky Way shots taken from work in progress timelapses

 

 

 

I would never want to complain about a clear night and will happily take one when ever it comes but doing an all nighter seems to be getting harder and harder nowadays...

Orion is 180 degs out of wack

The handle of the saucepan faces up, north east direction

Then again, am in Land Down Under, and things look different from down here

Fantastic Images James, I wish I was there too.

I notice you've enhanced the sky and not me !! I don't blame you  

You always capture a nice Milky Way so well done again.

Nick in silhouette is particularly nice,

Dave

Mark. You were missed.
