New stars are being made here:

Would need a proper telescope and tracking mount to get something else than glossy spot visible :roll:

Oh yes, do you think this classifies as arctic photography?

Thanks, I guess 2GB of photos in every 3 days is proper amount of training? :mrgreen:

Too bad it is not long before need to spend days with some other tasks, so it will be only dark time photos for a while.

Really?
Thats awsome.
I'd have just thought it was part of a tree.

Remarkable work, as always.
A lot of time, very well spent.

LOL, sure there is tree too, bit right to that tree is one star that is blurred, that is actually a galaxy named M31 if I remember it now correctly ;)

This another blurred thing is called M42 aka Orion nebula, they say that is place where new stars are being made...

d3k4y0, nice atmosphere in that pic, it looks just same how I imagine UK being at winter :mrgreen:

I'm likin' all the photos recently posted,well with the exception of one enhanced photo perhaps :D

I particularly like this one.Jtbo was right about the atmosphere but is forgetting the latent heat potential which I can clearly see :wink:

I just found interesting fact that only 10% of UK surface is covered by forests, when in finland that is over 74%, I never knew that UK has so many fields :shock:
