Double Cluster in Perseus, originally uploaded by ThinkingCamera.
I was very pleased with this astrophoto. It was windy so the stars are not quite perfect and I added the diffraction spikes in photoshop to bring out the colour. It’s a keeper!
The weather was exciting today. A deep low tracked from Cardiff South-Eastwards heading for the Channel over Wiltshire and Dorset, throwing off rain bands which in reality were lines of powerful shower cells with mammatus, hail, heavy rain and gusty winds. On the radar the system looked almost like a tropical one – with concentric rainbands around a clear low pressure centre – but no “eye” or eyewall structure.
I saw lots of rainbows, some spectacular hail and snow fallstreaks (though I was not under any), some inky black skies and some very vigorous convection with huge anvils and mammatus clouds.

I am having fun with my telescope. Trying to get any image that looks like the object keeps me out of mischief for hours! There are so many things to think about.
The heavens are wonderful and full of beauty. It is good to look and try to capture.
Photography through a telescope is hard, but I am beginning to get what look like astronomical images. Still a long way to go. I liked this cluster in Cassiopeia.

This morning has the first real frost and fog this autumn. Trees are bare ( except older oaks) and there are carpets of leaves.
