Yesterday was a good photographic day for me :)
Just what the Doctor ordered a completely clear day and night, after watching the boy play in his orchestra I had another play with the solar camera which is certainly improving with practice

And last night , against the forecast it was clear!! Couldn't look a goft horse in the mouth so set up when it got dark enough ( about 11 pm this far North) and started to take pics of a beautiful area called the Veil nebula complex
about 10,000 years ago a Supernova occured in this area ( 2,000 light years away) and what you can see here is the 'smoke' left over from that immense explosion - the area of the sky this covers is huge and this is actually 4 DSLR sized images sititched (inexpertly) together - I have lost a lot of the subtle detail in the whisps by processing this as a whole picture rather than each individual nebula and when its all stitched the original tiff is 2 metres accross!! so clearly it looks a bit rough and ready as a tiny jpeg.
I was stopped at 3 am by the sun coming up :mad: sometimes I forget how Far North we live
