This was the Moon & Jupiter from Kielder Starcamp, we just came out of the Dukes Pantry to be greeted with this view.

Might have caught it earlier if hadn't got into bad company...

Thanks for the kind feedback though the process may not be the best as the room is pretty bright here & difficult to see the screen.

Rob, yes this is from the Sunday night...would like to have caught it earlier but as I said ...got into bad company.

Thank you for the wee dram too...sure cured the insomnia...woke up & thought I was in a coma.

Thanks Porl

Just couldn't have a Kielder scene without the trees, just wouldn't be right.

If you can see Jupiters moons at least the focus is good, now I know I'm not seing things.
