A Lens to the Sky

I love skylines, so often a lens doesn’t do them justice but sometimes a wide lens and a moody sky can make a beautiful picture. I wish I could mount some of these at times…Enjoy the views!

A Flavour of Spring

I can’t talk obviously about the rest of the world, but here in the UK Spring has been a bit of a washout but there have been a few times where the Sun and been able to shine onto the beauty of the Spring and I’ve been able to capture a flavour of it.I hope…

The Little Green Comet

It may or may not have escaped your notice that there’s a comet in our neighbourhood at the moment. From Earth it’s a faint (like really faint) smudge that you might just be able to see with the naked eye. If you’re one of those lucky people that has the time and proper equipment to…

Winter Snowflakes and Sunrays

Winter is the UK is usually a fairly damp, wet and grey thing – snow if it happens usually lasts hours or a couple of days. Last week however a cold spell from the east came and with it came ice, snow and frost for about a week. This usually means that the country slows…

Autumn’s Hues and Colours

I’ve been taking a few pictures recently as it’s Autumn here in the UK and there’s comething about the air, the cool that brings out all the colours and makes the contrasts so stunning.Enjoy!

Jupiter and Saturn – Autumn planets

On Tueday Jupiter was at opposition, this means that the Sun, Earth and Jupiter are all in a line and it’s the closest that Jupiter gets to us this year. It also happened to be the closest Jupiter will be for a long time, so I was keen to get out and see what images…

A Galaxy of Stars

A few weeks ago the sky was clearer than I’ve seen it for a long time and after seeing the success of someone else taking a picture with my same camrea I thought I would try the same settings and give it a go. The big variable with taking astrophotography pictures is the quality of…

Astro Pics – 2 Planets and a Cluster

The nights over the last few weeks have been quite clear over England with the weather being unseasonably dry. This always offers some wonderful night time views of the sky and I knew it was coming up to the time where Saturn and Jupiter were in the sky.Then last week I say that yellowy star…

Moon Craters 2

It has to be said… when you start looking at Moon craters close up it can get a bit addictive. As the Moon waxes and wanes through it’s cycles the different parts of the moon are either lit up or cast into shadow, bringing out loads of detail. Somehow (don’t as me how) I managed…




Blog Orbit – June 2023

Hello there bloggies! Despite the weather presenting the look that it’s about April we have now arrived in June. We’ve made it this far and yet there still seems so long to go. The cost of living is still up through the roof, the backs seem forever useless and on the brink of collapse too…

Thinking about it makes it Hurt – The Tax System

I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer. The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually…

A Night with Venus and the Moon

Last night was actually quite clear. I say it with surprise becasue it was and this is quite a novelty lately as the last weeks have pretty pretty damp and murky. Looking was was the beautiful sight of the Moon and Venus showing off their brightness in the night sky. It’s not terribly clear in…
