Taken on one of those cameras that goes from 1mm to 1000mm or something.
Both proud and hate her in equal measures.....

Love it Rob 
Are these other galaxies in the top left?
Yeah, hopefully it lasts until after dark tonight for another go 
Was a really bright one at times last night, easily visible to the naked eye. If I had thought it was going to be that good I would have gone out earlier and driven the hour to the south coast instead of 5 minutes to the hills above town here.

I've visited the APOTY Exhibition at Liverpool's World Museum twice (It finished today) but I believe it's moving down to https://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/astronomy-photograp... and that image is every bit as good as the winning entries in that!Pot Bellied Fool said:

I generally dont bother with competitions any more.
We have dark skies and aurora once again.

That's a very good point. There were many in the exhibition that left me cold - but a sufficient number that left me gibbering in wonder! Talking about competitions, I was in a Garden Centre at the weekend (oh the joys of middle-age) and the local gardening Club had tables of displays from their recent competition. Flawless radish, unfeasibly large marrows, that sort of thing. They even had a photo section - not just of veg - and the quality was err... variable shall we say. So I think I know where to enter my shots from now on!

Shot this in Paris at the weekend at the Musée d'Orsay cafe shop. Through the 'clock window' looking at Sacre Coeur on a hill top across the other side of city with the telephoto compressing the distances in between. Also liked the people and staff in the foreground adding some context and atmosphere.
That needs more appreciation. Fantastic work.Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
